00:19 Dear Cardinal Brothers and Sisters,
00:21 with the Bishop Brothers,
00:23 Sisters, Brothers,
00:25 we are at the opening of the Synodal Assembly
00:29 and we do not need an immanent look
00:33 made of human strategies, political calculations or ideological battles,
00:40 that if the Synod gives this permission to the other,
00:43 will open this door to the other,
00:45 this is not needed.
00:47 We are not here to carry out a parliamentary meeting or a reform plan.
00:55 The Synod, dear brothers and sisters, is not a parliament.
01:00 The Holy Spirit is the protagonist.
01:05 No, we are not here to make a parliament.
01:08 We are here to walk together with the gaze of Jesus,
01:13 which blesses the Father and welcomes those who are oppressed and oppressed.
01:18 Let us therefore start with the gaze of Jesus,
01:22 which is a blessing and welcoming gaze.
01:26 This blessing gaze of the Lord invites us too
01:30 to be a Church that with a joyful spirit contemplates the action of God
01:35 and discerns the present.
01:39 And that this Church, in the turbulent waves of our time,
01:47 does not lose its spirit, does not seek ideological escape,
01:53 does not barricade itself behind convictions and acquisitions,
01:58 does not yield to the solution of comfort,
02:01 does not let the agenda be dictated by the world.
02:06 Amen.
