Vatican II and its four constitutions
|
In 2025 the universal Church will celebrate a Jubilee Year – a year of renewal in faith. The theme of the year established by Pope Francis is “Pilgrims of Hope“. Pope Francis has asked that the preparation for the Jubilee be marked in a particular way by rediscovering the teachings of Vatican II, in particular the four Constitutions, and by prayer.
For the last several years, Pope Francis has been inviting the Church to become “synodal”, that is, to walk together on our earthly pilgrimage, listening attentively to the voice of the Holy Spirit, guiding and directing our steps. This five-part study of the Constitutions is offered to assist the community in the preparation for the Jubilee year and take up Our Holy Father’s invitation to become a synodal Church, a church of communion, participation and mission. Next session: Wednesday November 6, 7:00-8:30 p.m. Lumen Gentium Dogmatic Constitution on The Church |
