This Saturday, March 14, at 6:00 PM, the II Pastoral Synod of the Archdiocese of Krakow will be inaugurated at the Sanctuary of Saint John Paul II in Krakow. Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś has issued an invitation through a video message, calling both laypeople and clergy to engage in the ceremony and the pre-synodal meetings that will lead up to it. Using a metaphor about the work of moles turning the soil in a local garden, he emphasized the need for a revitalization of faith in the area. In his message, Cardinal Ryś shares an observant moment while admiring the activity of moles that have turned the earth, symbolizing a need for an active transformation within the church community. He encourages parishioners to engage deeply in their faith, suggesting that just as the soil needs to be prepared for planting, so too must the church's spiritual ground be renewed to allow for the flourishing of God’s word. The pre-synodal meetings scheduled to begin on Friday will serve as platforms for discussion and involvement, fostering a communal spirit of faith and collaboration among attendees. The cardinal aims to inspire a commitment to rekindle the spiritual vitality of the Krakow Church, inviting members to reflect on their roles in nurturing their faith and those around them, paving the way for a more robust ecclesiastical engagement.
