Sunday of the Word of God - Jan 26As part of the Jubilee of Hope, this Sixth Annual Sunday of the Word of God (January 26 2025) invites us to reflect on the theme: “I hope in your Word” (Ps 119:74). In Jesus, the living Word of God (John 1:14), we find our ultimate hope (1 Tim 1:1). God’s presence is inseparable from His Word, offering an unfailing source of hope and renewal.
