At the close of its sixth assembly in Stuttgart on Saturday, the German Synodal Assembly narrowly approved, by the required two-thirds majority, a resolution authorizing the creation of a national Synodal Conference planned for the autumn. The central dispute concerned whether the new body should "monitor" the implementation of synodal resolutions in the dioceses. Even Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich warned against creating a superior authority that would supervise bishops or interfere in diocesan governance. “I do not want that,” Marx said. Similarly, Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz said that a control body overseeing bishops would contradict Catholic principles. Bishop Josef Overbeck of Essen expressed confidence. The Vatican has been informed about the planned body and he expects approval in the coming weeks. Asked about a possible rejection from Rome, Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg said he had no indication that approval was in doubt and ruled out proceeding without Vatican consent …ད་རུང་།
Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13 “They shall pasture and lie down.” Those who live with the Lord abide in peace and are nourished by God’s grace. 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 “It is due to God that you are in Christ Jesus.” God’s grace allows us to be in Christ and in God’s love. Matthew 5:1-12a “Jesus began to teach them.” When we listen to the Trinity, to the Holy Spirit, in our hearts, the wisdom of Love unlocks, heals, and purifies, and then it becomes easier to hear the teaching God has for us.

One thing as a FAITHFUL CATHOLIC is that, I will never refrain from knowing that GOD in His predilection has chosen Russia to be His instrument in our times as is the Holy Will of GOD.
