Pope Francis instituted ‘The Sunday of the Word of God’ to be
held every year on the third Sunday of Ordinary Time, The Sunday of the Word of
God is a means to help people “reawaken an awareness of the importance of
Sacred Scripture for our lives as believers, beginning with its resonance in
the liturgy which places us in living and permanent dialogue with God.” Through
the proclaimed biblical readings in the liturgy, God speaks to his people and
Christ himself proclaims his Gospel.”
