Sunday of the Word of God

Pope Francis has declared that the Third Sunday in
Ordinary Time is to be devoted to the celebration, study
and dissemination of the word of God “that the life of
our people be constantly marked by this decisive
relationship with the living word that the Lord never
tires of speaking to his Bride”, (Aperuit Illis, 2).
St. Jerome famously said: “Ignorance of Scripture is
ignorance of Christ.” In 2023 the Sunday of the
Word of God falls on January 22.
Let us Pray: Lord, Please open up my mind to help me to
understand the Bible. Open my eyes to see the
wonderful truths in your instructions. Give me
understanding so that I can know you better.
Please give me spiritual wisdom and insight so that I
might grow in my knowledge of you.
