Pope Francis leads Synod members and participants in a penitential service, expressing shame for our sins and seeking forgiveness from God and those we have harmed.At a penitential service marked by testimonies of those wounded by abuse, war and lack of charity, Pope Francis asked forgiveness from God and from those who have been wounded by our sin.
In his reflection following the confession of sins, the Holy Father emphasized that the Church, “in its essence of faith and proclamation, is always relational – and it is only by healing sick relationships that we become a synodal Church.” Instead, Pope Francis said, “today we are all like the publican, our eyes downcast and ashamed of our sins. Like him, we lag behind, clearing the space occupied by conceit, hypocrisy, and pride.”Pope Francis said that Tuesday’s penitential service, on the eve of the solemn opening of the Synod, “is an opportunity to restore trust in and towards the Church, a trust shattered by our mistakes and sins; and to begin to heal the wounds that do not stop bleeding.
