This Instrumentum laboris is the base document to guide the work of the second session of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly, scheduled from 2 to 27 October 2024. It highlights, in particular, the role of women and the need for transparency and accountability. The introduction reviews the journey so far, highlighting the synodal methodology of ‘Conversation in the Spirit’.
The section on Foundations explores synodality as a path of conversion and reform, the Church as a sign of unity, reconciliation and listening, especially for the poor and minorities.
The first part examines Relationships with God, among the faithful, and between Churches, essential for a synodal Church on mission. The second part highlights Pathways and communal discernment to promote everyone’s participation. The third part explores Places where the relationships and paths of the Church take shape.
The document invites the Church to continue its journey as ‘Pilgrims of Hope’, anticipating the Jubilee of 2025 with the aim of serving the Church and provide an opportunity to heal the wounds of our time.
