SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD


SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD

AN OVERVIEW OF CHRIST THE UNIQUE WORD OF SACRED SCRIPTURE.

By. Rev. Dcn. Samuel Nyonje ( Church of Nativity Kositei Parish - East Pokot Deanery )

Dear friends in Lord Jesus Christ, in the recent year, the Holy Father Pope Francis inaugurated the celebration of the Sunday of the Word of God. This day since last year as scheduled always fall on the 3rd Sunday of the Ordinary time.

But why celebrate this Sunday of the Word of God within the week of the Prayer of Christian Unity? Simply, among the theses presented by Luther was on the issue of Sola Scriptura ( Scripture only ).

In order to reveal himself to men, in the condensation of his goodness, God speaks to them in human words. For this reason, in which God spoke to men in their language by guidance of Holy Spirit, the Church has always venerated the Scripture as she venerate the Lord's Body. It's in the sacred Scripture that she finds her nourishment and strength, for she welcomes it not as human word, but as what it really is, the Word of God. It's through this that God comes to meet us lovingly. 

The Church has always hold relying on the faith of the Apostolic age and accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and New Testament whole and entire , with all their part on the grounds that, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and have been handed to the Church. ( DV # 11 , Jn 20:31,2Tim 3:16,2Pt 1:19-21).

We should always remember that Christianity is religion of the Word of God, a word not written and mute, but a living and Incarnate. Since Christ Jesus is the living Son of God, the Word made flesh is the head of the Church, then he sees that we remain steadfast to keep him alive in our hearts, and so is the written Word.

On this occasion, we should not only be part of the celebration but actively and consciously make the Word of God present in our dear hearts and lips, alive and vibrant.

Wishing you fruitful Sunday of the Word of God.

DIVINE MERCY

THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY This Chaplet was dedicated to Sr. Faustina by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Vilnius on September 13-14, 1935, as a prayer of atonement and for the appeasement of God's wrath. Those who recite this Chaplet offer to God the Father "the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity", of Jesus Christ in atonement for their sins , the sins of their loved ones , and those of the  entire world. By uniting themselves with the sacrifice of Jesus , they appeal to the great love that our Heavenly Father has for His Son and, in Him, for all humanity. By means of this prayer , the petitioners request "mercy on us and on the whole world", and by so doing , they perform a work of mercy. If the faithful add to this the foundation of trust and fulfill the conditions regarding every good prayer ( humility, perseverance, matters in conformity with God's will), they can expect the fulfillment of Christ's promises which are particularly rel...
