Word of God Sunday 2025

This Sunday, January 26 is the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, when Catholics celebrate Word of God Sunday. 
We are encouraged to spend this day learning how #TheBibleSpeaks and how #WeListen.  
The motto chosen by Pope Francis for this year is a verse from Psalm 119, “I hope in your Word”.

This coincides with the Jubilee Year of Hope.
We invite you to read the brief reflection in the Handbook by clicking on the picture, before you attend Mass on Sunday.  In it we come to understand that “the word of the Lord reaches the heart not as a promise of something but as a promise of someone.”
At Mass this weekend you may receive a prayer card or bookmark. We invite you to pray the prayer (found below) to help you be open to experiencing the Word made Flesh each time you listen to the Scriptures.
