Come & See Inspirations (C&SI)

On this weeks podcast we are sharing the news on how the canonisation cause of heroic First World War chaplain Father Willie Doyle SJ moved to its Roman stage following the formal closing of the diocesan inquiry in Ireland on October 18th. We share a brief reflection from Bishop Tom Deenihan about what Fr Willie says to Christians today as he formally closes the diocesan phase of the process. Then we share an interview we had with Pat Kenny from the Fr Willie Doyle Association in September 2017 when Pat introduced listeners to Fr Willie Doyle SJ - one of the Irish Jesuit chaplains who served (and in his case died) during WWI.

In part 1 we have our regular prayer space and a dip into the liturgical odds and ends including saints of the week.
In part 3 we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday gospel Matthew 22:34–40. When asked which is the greatest commandment in the Law, Jesus replies: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind," and the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

In Ireland this weekend, the National Synodal Pathway was coming to a climax with the Synodal Assembly being held on 17th October. So to put things in context ahead of the outcome of the Assembly on C&SI this week we are sharing an interview from TheWay.ie where Julieann Moran, General Secretary of the Irish Synodal Pathway, and Fr Declan Hurley, Chairperson of the National Synodal Team, invite people to engage with the Working Document and reflect on the future of the Church in Ireland. In the video conversation, Ms Moran and Fr Declan discuss the Working Document, ‘Is not this what God asks of you?’, which was published ahead of the Assembly. The document brings together the fruits of five years of prayer, listening and discernment along the Irish Synodal Pathway.  It draws on proposals developed through seven national Working Groups and provided the basis for prayer, conversation and discernment as nominated delegates gathered to consider what God may be asking of the Church at this time.
Obviously, once the Assembly is over, we will be following the outcomes and sharing with our listeners over the next few weeks. 
In part one we have our regular run through the up coming litirgical odds and ends including the saints of the week and we discuss the patron saint whose intercession could be sought for Pope Leo in his recovery after surgery.
In part three we have our regular weekly reflection on this weekly Sunday gospel Matthew 22:15–21 - where the Pharisees and Herodians try to trap Jesus by asking whether it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar. Jesus asks for the coin used for the tax, notes that it bears Caesar's image and inscription, and says: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's".
