Testigos
"Serán mis testigos".
(Hechos 1, 8)
El proceso preparatorio del SÃnodo de los Obispos de la Amazonia contó con la participación de 87,000 personas que dieron testimonio de sus lamentos, esperanzas y sueños para sus comunidades y la Iglesia que aman.
En el sÃnodo en Roma, los obispos afirmaron repetidamente que las mujeres ya están haciendo el trabajo de diáconos en la región, y pidieron que este ministerio sea visto y reconocido.
El sÃnodo pidió formalmente compartir sus "experiencias y reflexiones" con una comisión papal sobre las mujeres y el diaconado, y el Papa Francisco respondió inmediatamente, diciendo:
"Recojo el desafÃo. Recojo el guante. Las mujeres han puesto un cartel: 'Por favor, escúchanos. Que se nos escuche'. Y recojo el guante".Â
Aquà nos reunimos para escuchar a las mujeres que sirven en el ministerio hoy y que están listas para ser recibidas como diáconos en la Iglesia. También compartimos oraciones y esperanzas para el discernimiento de nuestra Iglesia, mientras buscamos dar un testimonio colectivo del movimiento del EspÃritu Santo.

“A highlight for many present was the Scripture reflection offered by a female parishioner who specifically spoke about her experience as a minister in the Church. At St. William, communal leadership and ministry are a central part of our community’s identity and values.”

“I have always viewed my ministry through this lens – out of service for and to the people of God. My intention was and is never to center myself in my ministry as a lay leader, rather my focus was always on how I could better uplift others in our midst. The Holy Spirit has certainly been active in the communities where I have ministered.”

“The mission of Discerning Deacons is important because they are advocating for a larger role for women in the Church, which is hard to do. Discerning Deacons is unafraid to get their hands dirty to bring about a more inclusive Church for women.”

“In learning of St. Phoebe, the Synod and the movement for women’s ordination to the permanent diaconate, many students shared that they are hopeful that change is coming! For young people, knowing that the Church is dynamic and able to change and grow in response to the movement of the Holy Spirit in the world is profoundly important.”
