SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD (Advertisement)
Ideas for celebrating the Sunday of the Word of God in your parish
Suggestions from the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization
In just 10 days, on Sunday 23rd January, the Church will celebrate The Sunday of the Word of God for the third time. Established "to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the Word of God", the Sunday of the Word of God can be marked in the community, in the family, and in personal prayer.
To help your parish celebrate the Sunday, take a look at these suggestions from the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, extracted from our new book The Sunday of the Word of God:The Sunday of the Word of God: Liturgical - Pastoral Resources 2022
The Sunday of the Word of God is just £9.95 and is in stock now.

Helping your parishioners celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God
Here are some brief examples to help your parishioners celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God at home:
1. Families pray together with the Word of God
On the Sunday of the Word of God, the entire family gathers around the main table in their home, where the crucifix, a picture of Our Lady, a candle, and the Bible are placed. They recite certain prayers before listening to the Word of God. Afterwards, they can share with one another about what they have just read.
Questions for reflection might include:
• What part of the passage struck me the most and why?
• Which person in the biblical story do I identify with?
• What behaviour or situation caught my attention?
• Did I experience any emotions during the reading? Which ones and when?
• How does this passage relate to my life?
• Do I feel inspired by the words I have heard?
2. Communal Reading of the Gospel for the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time
In the centre of the room where the meeting will take place, have two Bibles, one open to the book of Isaiah and the other to the book of Luke, from each of which the respective Bible readings can be read. This will help us become aware of the Word spoken in ancient times as a ‘promise’ and the Word proclaimed in the time of the ‘fulness’ of revelation.
After reading the Gospel, small groups are encouraged to examine their daily lives and ask themselves:
• What religious, social, cultural, political and economic situations are we eyewitnesses to, today? (The following texts from Luke can help if needed: Lk 1:5-7; 2:1-3; 3:1-2, 7-14, 19-20).
• Who acts with the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit and who acts against the Holy Spirit?
• Who are the servants of the Word? Who are those seeking to stifle it and paralyse its dynamism?
• What is the soundness of the teaching we have received? How has it contributed or not contributed to an abundant life in our community?
• What is being taught “today” in the name of God through the various media outlets available in society?
• What liberating actions does the Spirit’s presence produce in the members of the community? (The following texts from Luke may be helpful: Ac 4:19-20; 5:29, 41-42).
• How is the Spirit’s vitalising or dynamic power announced and manifested to those oppressed by various social, economic, political, and cultural ills? (cf. Lk 7:21-23).
• How does the Word of God, both in the Old Testament and in Jesus’s preaching, proclaim the Lord’s year of grace for all and especially for those whom Luke wanted to highlight?
• What effect does Jesus’s proclamation have on today’s listeners?
3. Continue Experiencing the Word of God
After this specific Sunday, it is necessary to remember that the Word of God does not cease to work in our hearts, so it would be appropriate to create formative opportunities (for example: weekly or monthly Lectio Divina, Bible groups, etc.) where the encounter with the Word of God can continue, offering possibilities for the ongoing formation of the faithful.
The following are some pastoral proposals that can help emphasise the importance of celebrating the Sunday of the Word of God in the Christian community. Depending on the context of each community, besides others, these can be proposed: celebrating the Institution of Readers by the diocesan bishop; the continuous proclamation/reading of a book in the Bible; the distribution of Bibles in certain places (like hospitals, prisons, nursing homes, schools, etc.); audio-plays or podcasts based on biblical characters; educative and formative events; ecumenical celebrations, etc.
For more suggestions for celebrating the Word of God in the community, in the family, and in personal prayer, order The Sunday of the Word of God today.

Pope Francis establishes in this motu proprio, the Sunday of the Word of God, a day of reflection on the Word for all Christians. Responding to many requests from the people of God that the entire Church should celebrate in unity a Sunday of the Word of God, this document helpfully offers reflection and practical suggestions for celebrating this addition to the Church’s calendar.
