Cardinal Mario Grech says that the General Secretariat of the Synod, which prepared the new document (Pathways for the Implementation Phase of the Synod ), is at the service of the local Churches, ready “to listen to them, support their efforts, and, above all, contribute to anima-ting the dialogue and exchange of gifts bet-ween the Churches.”
Pathways opens with an explanation of the implementation phase and its objectives, and goes on to describe the participants of the im-plementation phase, along with their tasks and responsibilities; to suggest how to engage with the Synod’s Final Document, the main point of reference for this phase of the Synod journey; and to offer advice on methods and tools that “can help shape our path during the implementation phase.”
We convey these pathways, says Cardinal Grech, “to the entire People of God, who are the subjects of the synodal journey, and in particular to the Bishops and Eparchs, to the members of the synodal teams, and to all those who are involved in various ways in the imple-mentation phase.” The aim, he adds, “is of making them feel our support and continuing the dialogue that has characterized the entire synodal journey.”
