BLESSING OF BIBLES
JANUARY 25 & 26 AT ALL MASSES
Bring your Bible to Mass on the weekend of January 26! Pope Francis has instituted the third Sunday in Ordinary time as "Word of God Sunday." In his decree written last fall, “Aperuit Illis,” the Holy Father said, “The relationship between the Risen Lord, the community of believers and sacred Scripture is essential to our identity as Christians…The Bible is the book of the Lord’s people, who, in listening to it, move from dispersion and division towards unity.”
So please bring your family Bible or your personal Bible to Mass for a blessing. There will also be information available to enthrone your Bible in your home. For more information on purchasing a Bible please respond to this email. For more information about the Bible click on the above picture.
