 Day of Prayer for the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the
Synod of Bishops
 Sunday, 28 September is to be set aside as a Day of Prayer for the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, scheduled to take place from 5 to 219 October to treat the topic: The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization.
Particular churches, parish communities, institutes of consecrated life, associations and movements are invited to pray for this intention during Mass and at other liturgical celebrations, in the days leading to the synod and during the synod itself. In Rome, in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, prayers will be recited each day in the chapel of the icon, Salus Populi Romani. The faithful, individually but above all in families, are invited to join in these prayers.

PASS THIS ON.  YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MAY BE IN NEED
The first
sentence is pretty powerful!
God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and whom you refuse to let go.'
‘Father, God, bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! And may their lives be full of your peace, power & prosperity as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen ‘
