This weekend we celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God… As [Pope] Francis stated in his apostolic letter instituting the observance, “Devoting a specific Sunday of the liturgical year to the word of God can enable the Church to experience anew how the risen Lord opens up for us the treasury of his word and enables us to proclaim its unfathomable riches before the world.” …In observance of the Sunday of the Word of God, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, through a grant from the American Bible Society, is offering a “Sunday Seminar Series” of five videos about Sacred Scripture in the life of the Church… These videos are available at https://catholic.bible/sunday-of-the-word-of-god/
In the year ahead, make time at home to read and reflect on sacred Scripture, praying over it and growing into an ever deeper relationship with the Word who incarnates the word of God for us. Through reflecting on the word of God, we are prepared to enter into the Liturgy of the Eucharist at Mass and receive the very Word made flesh at communion. |
