Sunday of the Word of God

 

From Dei Verbum (Vatican II document on divine revelation)

“In the sacred books, the Father Who is in Heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them; and the force and power in the word of God is so great that it remains the support and energy of the Church, the strength of faith for her sons, the food of the soul, the pure and perennial source of the spiritual life.”

Pope Francis has decreed that the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time be dedicated in a special way to God’s Word in the Sacred Scriptures. What role does the Bible play in your daily life of faith and prayer?
