“May the Sunday of the Word of God help His people to grow in religious and intimate familiarity with the Sacred Scriptures. For as the sacred author taught of old: ‘This word is very near to you: it is in your mouth and in your heart for your observance’” (Dt 30:14) Pope Francis, Aperuit Illis, Instituting the Sunday of the Word of God, September 30, 2019.
