ESCUCHAR LOS SIGNOS DE LOS TIEMPOS. SU DISCERNIMIENTO EN LA PRIMERA ASAMBLEA ECLESIAL DE AMÉRICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE.

This article argues that in the current synodal process of the Church, particularly in the development of the First Ecclesial Assembly of Latin America and the Caribbean, there is a methodological innovation in the discernment process of the signs of times. This innovation better introduces the participation of the People of God in said discernment, characterized as a process of listening. It concretely embodies the faithful´s sense of faith in the exercise of synodality and the communion of the Church. This process of listening, in turn, implies an enrichment of the ecclesiological perspective in relation to previous discernment processes that have been predominantly Christocentric, now assuming more strongly the protagonism of the Holy Spirit, which has been referred to as an overflow of the Spirit.
