Pope Francis brought the Special Synod on the Pan-Amazon region to a conclusion on Sunday morning, celebrating the closing Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. It is now the Lord of History who will accompany His people who have committed themselves once again to walk with Jesus as “disciples on the way” thus forming the People of God in the Amazon.
