Synod

I should not be writing here. Well that is still a dilemma to decide how much of a distraction ad of focus of my attention and time is this site. Of course, one learn things when one shares, or write them down in a conscious way, or vocalize them.

Some folks have a good memory.

Unless, I have a bad memory. I recall I learned about walking together or synod from Cardinal Prevost.

This was an recorded interview from August 7, 2024, which I shared to a friend on May 8, 2025. After my friend was telling me about Cardinal Prevost, new elected Pope Leo XIV. I might have received that interview just a few days before from another friend.

In any case, it is interesting how some words resonate regarding religion. My friend just remind me of the words I met you where you are at, and then we walk together. Even if metaphorically that topic was discussed.

It is a good reminder for many things of life.

It is a stage of healing, where one also needs to know thyself well, so the other person(s) understand where one needs to be met, if need healing. But in the literal sense as a man, one usually is the giver, and I think particularly in emotions. But the quote I met you where you are is something I still need to understand further. i think it is still can have applications on feelings, spiritual level, knowledge, level of understanding, expertise, wisdom, and more gifts, which can have different goals of the walk together, including salvation.

But another quote here in the mix, citing Tolkien from the Lord of the Rings: “The hands of the King are the hands of the healer”.

Then a prophesy was fulfilled there. But what about a queen. Who in this case already was committed to, and send a relevant part of hers to Aragon and to the big and dangerous battleground.

That is the story, or quick reflection, to further thought.

Here one reference I mentioned:

Another one, I did not mentioned, but it has background regarding one of the last sentences. I will include it, to try to understand from where Tolkien got that concept as well:
