Summary
June 26-27 will feature four reflection sessions for Pope Leo XIV and the cardinals, with themes spanning world conflict, power, the common good and implementation of the Synod.
Twenty groups will handle the discussions under a synodal format of prayer, silence, small-group exchange and plenary reports, while cardinals have been told to keep proceedings confidential and avoid press comments.
Friday opens with Mass at St. Peter's and a session on proclaiming the Gospel in today's world; Saturday shifts to fractures blocking the common good and then to the Synod's 2027-2028 implementation path.
The gathering is Leo's second consistory after January's meeting of 170 electors and non-electors, which he used to announce the June session and stress his need to rely on the cardinals.
