When the nuncio asks "what old ways must be abandoned" I suggest it would be refreshing to let the 1960s finally die: the provincialism of that era seems to be standing in the way of answers to this era's challenges emerging from the Holy Spirit. Personally, I do not feel "passive" when I'm at Adoration or in a procession. I think that because those times are not political nor amenable to politics, some bishops feel uncomfortable with the Eucharistic Revival and therefore feel a need to synodize the Revival. If only the Synod could be an extension of the Revival & rethink why Catholic families are falling apart, why they "drop off" kids for school, confirmation but rarely go to mass. Synod needs to solve the vanishing Catholic family unable to go the distance.

Regarding anything somehow competing with contemplation before the blessed sacrament, someone once said “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
