For 3 September 2023, Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, based on Romans 12:1–2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

What a wonderful reflection on the reading and its relation to the Synod. I am inspired to share this with others as part of their own, as well as my discernment. May the Spirit continue to bless you share with us.
