Dear Amazon Post-Synodal Exhortation

With this Exhortation I wish to express the resonances that this journey of dialogue and discernment has provoked in me (the Synod of the Amazon)... ...I address this Exhortation to the entire world. On the one hand, I do so to help awaken affection and concern for this land which is also "ours" and to invite you to admire it and to recognize it as a sacred mystery... All that the Church offers must be embodied in an original way in every place in the world, so that the Bride of Christ may take on multiform faces that better manifest the inexhaustible richness of grace. Preaching must be embodied, the structures of the Church must be embodied.
