Pope Francis presided over the Mass celebrating this year’s Sunday of the Word of God marking the theme from John’s Letter, “We proclaim to you what we have seen” . The celebration took place in St. Peter’s Basilica and included the conferral of the Ministries of Lector and Catechist on lay men and women from Italy, Congo, the Philippines, Mexico, and the UK.
Jesus is always on the move, an itinerant and pilgrim, visiting towns and villages, meeting and healing people, the Pope explained, saying “His feet are those of the messenger announcing the good news of God’s love.” The area by the Sea of Galilee where He began His preaching was a cultural crossroads of peoples of traditions, he observed, and this shows how Jesus “enlarges the boundaries” of proclaiming the Word of God not only to the righteous of Israel, but to all.
“Let us learn from Jesus to put the Word at the centre, to enlarge our boundaries, to open ourselves up to people, and to foster experiences of encounter with the Lord, realizing that the Word of God “is not encased in abstract or static formulas, but has a dynamic power in history which is made up of persons and events, words and actions, developments and tensions”.”, to change our lives, as we cannot remain the same after hearing its life-giving message, the Pope went on to say.
, the Pope concluded. As Jesus, walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, called Simon and Andrew to be His disciples, to follow Him and become “fishers of men,” we are also called now to meet our brothers and sisters in proclaiming the joy of the Gospel.
