Prayer for the Synod:
                      Adsumus Sancte Spiritus
        Every session of the Second Vatican Council began with the prayer
      Adsumus Sancte Spiritus, the first word of the original Latin, meaning,
“We stand before You, Holy Spirit,” which has been historically used at Councils,
 Synods and other Church gatherings for hundreds of years, and is attributed to
Saint Isidore of Seville (c. 560 - 4 April 636). As we embrace this Synodal Process,
       this prayer invites the Holy Spirit to be at work in us so that we may
                       be a community and a people of grace.

                  We stand before You, Holy Spirit,
               as we gather together in Your name.
                   With You alone to guide us,
               make Yourself at home in our hearts;
                   Teach us the way we must go
                   and how we are to pursue it.
                     We are weak and sinful;
                  do not let us promote disorder.
       Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path
               nor partiality influence our actions.
                   Let us find in You our unity
         so that we may journey together to eternal life
               and not stray from the way of truth
                        and what is right.
All this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time,
          in the communion of the Father and the Son,
                         forever and ever.

                                   Amen.

    Collect

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
         Deuteronomy 30:10-14
         “The word is very near to you for your observance.”

Moses said to the people: “If only you would heed the voice of the Lord, your
God, and keep his commandments and statutes that are written in this book
of the law, when you return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and all
your soul.
“For this command that I enjoin on you today is not too mysterious and
remote for you. It is not up in the sky, that you should say, ‘Who will go up in
the sky to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may carry it out?’ Nor is it across
the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and tell us
of it, that we may carry it out?’ No, it is something very near to you, already in
your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out.”
     Lord, You Have the Words of Everlasting Life
Responsorial Psalm
                                           Psalm 19
     3
     4
       Lord,   You have the words            of    ev     er     last          ing   life.

Second Reading
         Philippians 2:1-4
         “Have the same convictions, the same love, the same concern for
         unity.”
Hermanos: Si alguna fuerza tiene una advertencia en nombre de Cristo, si de
algo sirve una exhortación nacida del amor, si nos une el mismo Espíritu y si
ustedes me profesan un afecto entrañable, llénenme de alegría teniendo todos
una misma manera de pensar, un mismo amor, unas mismas aspiraciones y
una sola alma. Nada hagan por espíritu de rivalidad ni presunción; antes bien,
por humildad, cada uno considere a los demás como superiores a sí mismo y
no busque su propio interés, sino el del prójimo.

Gospel
          Matthew 18:15-20
          “Where two or three meet in my name, I shall be there with them.”
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Si tu hermano comete un pecado,
ve y amonéstalo a solas. Si te escucha, habrás salvado a tu hermano. Si no te
hace caso, hazte acompañar de una o dos personas, para que todo lo que se
diga conste por boca de dos o tres testigos. Pero si ni así te hace caso, díselo a
la comunidad; y si ni a la comunidad le hace caso, apártate de él como de un
pagano o de un publicano.
Yo les aseguro que todo lo que aten en la tierra, quedará atado en el cielo, y
todo lo que desaten en la tierra, quedará desatado en el cielo.
Yo les aseguro también que si dos de ustedes se ponen de acuerdo para pedir
algo, sea lo que fuere, mi Padre celestial se lo concederá; pues donde dos o tres
se reúnen en mi nombre, ahí estoy yo en medio de ellos.’’
           Please remain standing after the proclamation of the Gospel until the
             end of the procession and blessing with the Book of the Gospels.

Prayer for the Opening of the
         Assembly of Ambassadors

  We stand before you, Holy Spirit, conscious of our
   sinfulness, but aware that we gather in your name.

 Come to us, remain with us, and enlighten our hearts.

 Give us light and strength to know your will to make it
            our own and to live it in our lives.

Guide us by your wisdom, support us by your power, for
   you are God, sharing the glory of Father and Son.

 You desire justice for all: enable us to uphold the rights
 of others; do not allow us to be misled by ignorance or
  corrupted by fear or favor. Unite is to yourself in the
   bond of love and keep us faithful to all that is true.

 As we gather in your name may we temper justice with
love, so that all our decisions may be pleasing to you, and
 earn the reward promised to good and faithful servants.

                         Amen.
...We recall that the purpose of the Synod,
and therefore of this consultation, is not to
produce documents, but “to plant dreams,
 draw forth prophecies and visions, allow
   hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up
   wounds, weave together relationships,
 awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one
another and create a bright resourcefulness
  that will enlighten minds, warm hearts,
        give strength to our hands...
