Pope Francis has designated the Third Sunday in Ordinary
Time as the Sunday of the Word of God. While every Sun-
day is a day to focus on God’s Word as proclaimed at Mass,
we make special emphasis on God’s Word this Sunday. We
encourage catechists, Catholic school teachers, and parents
to consider ways to celebrate the Word of God in a special
way in honor of this observance.
