"God's Word consoles and encourages us, it challenges us, frees us from the bondage of our selfishness and summons us to conversion; because it has the power to change our lives and to lead us out of darkness into the light." - Pope Francis
"[Today], Pope Francis will lead the first celebration of the Sunday
of the Word of God, which he instituted as a yearly occasion to
celebrate and study the Bible.
"Francis wants to 'stimulate all Christians not to place the Bible on
the shelf as one of many books, perhaps filled with dust, but as an
instrument that awakens our faith,' said Italian Archbishop Salvatore
Fisichella. . . .
