The formation course offers a re-reading of some principles of the Social Doctrine of the Church in the light of the processes of social transformation and the emerging declinations of charity within the synodal church. The three verbs – to learn, to include, to take care – are privileged keys to understanding the changes taking place in the realities in which the works and actions of charity unfold, that is, the home, the church, the city. In a particular way, caring for the family, the domestic church, means valuing the caring relationships that bind people together with social institutions. Works and actions of charity have a political and instituting value that is also exercised in the relationship between charity and the synodal church, between “being social” and being synodal.

A SYNODAL CHURCH IN MISSION – Synthesis Report
“For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Cor 12:13). This is the experience, full of joy and gratitude, that we have had in this First Session of the Synodal Assembly held from 4 to 29 October 2023 on the theme “For a Synodal Church. Communion, Participation, Mission”. Despite our diversity of backgrounds, languages and cultures, through the common grace of Baptism we have been able to live these days together with one heart and spirit. We have sought to sing like a choir, many voices as though expressing one soul. The Holy Spirit has gifted us with an experience of the harmony that He alone can generate; it is a gift and a witness in a world that is torn and divided.
