Fly on the Wall

Dear Father,

How I agree that reading about the synod on the Word of God, and especially your friendly reports, is making one feel like a "fly on the wall" at the synod.

It is helping me to understand more deeply that God is speaking to us -- the Church, me as an individual -- more in the daily Mass readings and the Divine Office. It also helps one to realize the unity of the Church, as the Bride of Christ.

I love your recording of the little incidents that show the princes of the Church, as human like the rest of us.

I was in Lourdes when the Pope was there four weeks ago and got a lovely photo of his Holiness, so reading about the Synod is extending the joy I experienced there.

Enjoy your cappuccinos!

God bless,
