Curious to know if anyone's doing this...

By Catholic Cyber-Militia
The forty days of prayer and fasting for the Pan-Amazon Synod have begun.  I'm curious to know:
  • Are any of the readers/participants/casual browsers here at OHCA participating in this prayer event?
  • To what extent (if any) were you aware of the recommendations and goals put forth in the synod's working paper (the Instrumentum Laboris)?
  • Are there any particular provisions in the working paper which you find particularly disturbing, or any provisions which sound like good ideas which should be explored further and eventually adopted/implemented?
  • Is the Pan-Amazon Synod, in your opinion, a big deal, or is it one of those things where the bishops and participants will do what's best for the Church, and everything will work out?

I really would like to know your opinions on the matter.  If you think I'm being shrill and unnecessarily alarmist, tell me.  

 Take a few moments to think about this synod.   I implore you, my fellow Catholics and readers at OHCA, to join in this prayer vigil.  

 It's important to understand the magnitude of the crisis our Church is facing, and has been facing for many years now.  This is not the time to be complacent, to say, "Well, things are just fine in my parish, and I say my daily prayers, so I guess it's OK."  Don't keep your head in the sand, fellow Catholic.  If they end up approving even half of the nonsense they're proposing for the Pan-Amazon Synod, your Church will suffer for it.  These people are intent on irrevocably changing Christ's Church; German prelates have said as much.  They've even boasted of it.  
We must pray, and pray hard.  If you are unfamiliar with the Pan-Amazon Synod, or why some of your fellow Catholics seem so perturbed by it, I urge you to educate yourself.  Resources better than this link most certainly abound, but these articles will at least get you started:

That Amazin' Amazon Synod!

and

An Urgent Request for Prayer and Fasting

If you don't think this is a big deal, if you think everything is fine and that, in fact, the Amazon Synod is precisely what the Church needs at this moment, then by all means, please tell your fellow readers why you think so!  The comment box is waiting for you.

Gospel Luke 11:15-26 When Jesus had driven out a demon, some of the crowd said: “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven. But he knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons. If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demon...

BLE & BAE Discussion Saturday 22nd Week in Ordinary Time

Good morning, Holiness is Possible. Creating holy moments From Dynamic Catholic Gospel  LK 6:1-5 While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. Some Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?” Jesus said to them in reply, “Have you not read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry? How he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions?” Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” Blessing to all who read and to those who share.  Make it a great day.
