Young people from across the Diocese of Rome and other dioceses in the Lazio region will gather with the pope at 5.00pm at the papal basilica on the Esquiline Hill. They will reflect on the figure of John the Apostle, chosen as the example to follow in the process of discernment and discussion called for in the preparatory document for next year’s Synod. Participants will also ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the inspiration for the theme for the next three world youth days.
The vigil is being organised by the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops in collaboration with dioceses in the Lazio region and the Holy See’s Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life.

During the diocesan stage of the Universal Synod, people called for courses, resources, and dynamic spaces where they could explore or deepen their own faith, spirituality, and understanding of Scripture on a personal level. One initiative being made available in 2023 is this series of short video reflections on the Sunday Gospel each week. Watch out for a new video every Thursday, which will have the Synodal Sunday video reflection for the upcoming Sunday. Please feel free to share these videos as widely as possible - on your websites, your social media platforms, and with others on your networks.
