The vigil of prayer will be preceded – from 5 to 6 pm – by a celebration of gratitude centered on four gifts: gratitude for the gift of unity and for the synodal journey, for the gift of the other, for the gift of peace and for the gift of the Creation.
The vigil itself, starting at 6 p.m., will include listening to the Word of God, praise and intercession, Taizé songs and silence – a strong sign of fraternity, unity and peace.
