Bible Sunday 2008

Word of God: Source of Reconciliation, Justice and Peace. This is the theme of this year's celebration of the National Bible Week. I think it has been fittingly chosen especially in the light of the just concluded Year of Social Concerns in the Catholic Church. Our society and our world badly need these three gifts from God: reconciliation, justice and peace. And this theme invites us to consider the treasure and potential of the Word of God to bring about reconciliation justice and peace. By a daily reading of the Bible, may we discover and be inspired by its stories, poems and narratives and become, with God's grace agents of reconciliation, justice and peace!
