By Munir Bayouk/en.abouna.org :

The sessions of the Continental Synodal Assembly of Catholic Churches of the Middle East continued for the fourth day, Thursday, February 16, 2023 at Beit Anya, Harissa, with the morning prayer while Bishop Joseph Abdul Sater gave a homily on communion. 

 

The morning session focused on discussing the participants' experiences as well as listening to the plan of action of the continental document and the means that will be followed by all the Churches of the Middle East.

 

In the afternoon, the sessions included separate groups who answered questions relevant to the Synod, namely the expression of the experience lived in these days, as well as the means to preserve it and to transfer it to the countries of the Middle East.

 

 In the evening, Patriarch Ibrahim Isaac celebrated a Holy Mass according to the Coptic rite, with the participation of all the clerics. Then, the day ended with the cultural section of the Armenian Church where a musical band presented songs, followed by documentaries about the Latin Church in the Holy Land.
