Sixth Sunday of the Word of God
The Sunday of the Word of God is a profoundly pastoral initiative with which Pope Francis wants to make it clear how important it is in the daily life of the Church and our communities to refer to the Word of God, a Word that is not confined to a book, but which remains ever alive and becomes a concrete and tangible sign.
The motto chosen by the Holy Father for the 2025 edition, within the Jubilee Year, is a verse from Psalm 119, “I hope in your Word”. It is a cry of hope: man, in a moment of anguish, tribulation, and confusion, cries out to God and puts all his hope in him.
This Pastoral Handbook is intended to help and be offered to parish communities and those gathered for Sundays Eucharistic celebration, so that this Sunday may be resolutely lived.
