Vatican City, 6 September 2014 (VIS) –
According to a communique issued by the Secretariat for the Synod of
Bishops, Sunday 28 September will be dedicated to prayer for the
Third General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, to take place from 5
to 19 October on the theme “Pastoral challenges to the family in
the context of evangelisation”.
The particular Churches, parish
communities, Institutes of consecrated life, associations and
movements are invited to pray during Eucharistic celebrations and
other liturgical occasions in the days preceding and during the work
of the Synod.
In Rome, there will be prayers every
day in the Chapel of Salus Populii Romani in the Basilica of St. Mary
Major. The faithful, especially families, may include this intention
in their personal prayers, and are recommended to pray the Rosary for
the work of the Synod.
The Secretariat of the Synod will
shortly publish a leaflet in various languages with the prayer of the
Holy Family for the Synod, composed by Pope Francis and with other
suggested intentions for the prayers of the faithful.
