“This project to form facilitators for Discernment processes is part of our Jesuit contribution to synodality”, said Fr Sosa. “It is an initiative rooted in Vatican II and in a vision for a synodal church, a humble church and a pilgrim church. That vision sees all of us going forward together bringing reconciliation and justice to a wounded world. It’s the vision of the Beatitudes: a world where the poor, the merciful, the peacemakers and those who search for justice are blessed. Our societies need a conversion to a sincere and intentional listening, always seeking the deepest truth, ready to let go of prejudices and opinions, always seeking where God’s Spirit is leading. This is counter-cultural in an age when discourse has become polarized, where people label each other without really listening.”
