The third decree of the Fifth Plenary Council is a challenging but joyful reminder to all Catholics of the mission that has been entrusted to them through their Baptism. As disciples of Christ, the baptised are called to give loving attention to our world – marked by both sin and grace – to prayerfully read the signs of the times in the light of the Gospel, to seek to grasp the meaning of human strivings and to discern God’s will under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (cf. Gaudium et Spes nn. 3-4, 11).
Using the Third Decree of the Plenary Council as an example, Dr Chris Cotter and Leslie Cooper will work through the study guide released by the ACBC ‘Carrying Forward the Plenary Council’. Participants will be guided through a process of spiritual dialogue, starting with reading the first question of the decree, praying, reflecting on it, then reviewing what their community is already doing, or could be doing to implement this part of the decree. This process is then repeated for each question of the decree.
It is hoped this will assist parishes to facilitate meetings as they carry forward the plenary Council implementing decrees.
