What would you say to Pope Francis?
If you had a chance to have a bit of a chat to Pope Francis – what on earth would you say to him? Maybe there would be something you would want to ask him? Or perhaps there is an important issue that you would want to tell him about?
At Pentecost the Holy Spirit transformed the apostles and gave them courage to talk and listen to each other and those around them. What conversations do you think they had? What do you think they heard?
Pope Francis wants us to get into a conversation. He says that when we talk and listen to each other in a particular way then the Holy Spirit, working in and through us, can transform the world.
So, as a conversation starter have a think about what you would want to say to Pope Francis.
There’s an opportunity to come together for a conversation about this on Thursday, 6 June at either 2.30pm at Holy Family meeting room or 7.30pm in the annexe at St Mark’s.
Come and join the conversation and experience this powerful way of tuning into the Holy Spirit.
