In 2019, Pope Francis made a significant declaration that has since become a cherished tradition for many families around the world. The third Sunday of January each year was officially designated as Sunday of the Word of God, a day dedicated to celebrating and reflecting on the profound impact of the Bible in our lives.
As part of this celebration, families are encouraged to participate in the enthronement of the Bible in their homes, fostering a sense of unity, spirituality, and shared devotion.
The practice of enthroning the Bible involves placing the sacred scripture in a prominent and honoured place within the household. This symbolic act serves as a visible reminder of the importance of God’s Word in guiding and shaping the lives of family members. It is not merely a ritual but a commitment to making the Bible a central focus in daily family life.
In a world filled with distractions and fast-paced lifestyles, the enthronement provides a sacred pause—a moment for families to come together, reflect on their faith, and strengthen their spiritual bonds, whilst feeling a deep sense of joy with every encounter with the Word.
The enthronement of the Bible transcends denominational boundaries, embracing families from various Christian traditions. It is a unifying practice that highlights the common ground shared by believers—the reverence and love for the Word of God.
Families are encouraged not only to read the scriptures but also to discuss and reflect on their meanings, fostering a deeper understanding of faith and its application in daily life.
As Sunday, January 21, 2024 approaches, families worldwide are gearing up to participate in this annual tradition. Sunday of the Word of God serves as a reminder that, amidst the challenges of the modern world, the timeless wisdom found in the Bible can be a source of solace, guidance, and strength for all families.
Within their homes the transformative power of God’s Word can flourish. Family members can again commit to walking the path of faith together, guided by the teachings and wisdom found within its sacred pages.
