Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, the official retreat master and spiritual advisor for this assembly, was appointed by Pope Francis to deliver a series of retreat talks and meditations to the delegates during the assembly of the synod. In \u003ci\u003eSurprised by Hope, \u003c\/i\u003e he reflects on the radically transformative process begun at the general assembly of the Synod on Synodality with a new focus for today: \"\u003ci\u003eHow\u003c\/i\u003e to be a synodal Church on mission?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurprised by Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is the collection of Radcliffe's retreat talks along with five additional, post-synodal reflections. In these reflections, he focuses on the encounter of the disciples with the Risen Lord in Saint John's gospel to help us prepare for our encounter with the Lord, with other cultures and each other, in silence and in prayer, and in conversation and mutual attention. Through each reflection, Cardinal Radcliffe shines a fresh light on how to be a missionary, synodal Church in our crucified world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Radcliffe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.80w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798400802362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Cardinal Radcliffe, OP\u003c\/b\u003e, retreat master and spiritual advisor for the Synod on Synodality, is a member of the community at Blackfriars, Oxford, and was master general of the Order of Preachers from 1992 to 2001.
