Sunday of the Word of God: 'A day of awakening'
A note issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments provides instructions for the celebration of The Sunday of the Word of God.
Pope Francis instituted 'The Sunday of the Word of God' to be held every year on the third Sunday of Ordinary Time, with the Apostolic Letter in the form of a Motu proprio "Aperuit illis" issued on 30 September 2019.
The Pope intended it to be a day dedicated to the celebration, reflection and dissemination of the Word.

A note released on Saturday by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, and signed by the prefect, Cardinal Robert Sarah, explains that The Sunday of the Word of God is a means to help people “reawaken an awareness of the importance of Sacred Scripture for our lives as believers, beginning with its resonance in the liturgy which places us in living and permanent dialogue with God.”
