Jakarta, Indonesia - Sunday of the Word of God ...

The Community of Sant'Egidio and prayer.
"It would be beneficial if every Christian community, on one Sunday of the liturgical year, could renew its efforts to make the Sacred Scriptures better known and more widely diffused. It would be a Sunday given over entirely to the word of God, so as to appreciate the inexhaustible riches contained in that constant dialogue between the Lord and his people. Creative initiatives can help make this an opportunity for the faithful to become living vessels for the transmission of God’s word" (pope Francis, Misericordia et Misera, 7).
