It will not be a matter of denouncing the sin of others, but of recognizing oneself as one of those who, by action or at least by omission, become the cause of the suffering endured by the innocent and defenseless. At the end of this confession of sins, the Holy Father will address, in the name of all Christians, a request for forgiveness to God and to the sisters and brothers of all humanity."Cardinal Mario Grech explained at the press conference to present the second session of the Synod, the penitential celebration that will open this assembly on October 1.

The Pope will hear from a victim of abuse, a victim of war and someone who has suffered the sin of indifference to the drama of migration.
