During the opening Mass for the AMECEA plenary assembly in Nairobi, Cardinal Michael Czerny encouraged Christians to patiently transform the world by allowing the Holy Spirit to act within them and build authentic bridges of communion. He reflected on Gospel parables of leaven, wheat and weeds, and mustard seed, urging a patient and faith-filled approach to overcome suffering and injustice. The assembly, gathering 140 bishops from Eastern Africa, focuses on synodal journey with young people.
