Liturgical and Pastoral Handbook

Seventh Sunday of the Word of God

The Sunday of the Word of God is a profoundly pastoral initiative 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 biblical expression chosen for the celebration of the seventh edition of the Sunday of the Word of God is taken from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians: “The word of Christ dwells among you” (3:16).

This Pastoral Handbook is intended to help and be offered to parish communities and those gathered for Sunday’s Eucharistic celebration, so that this Sunday may be resolutely lived.
