“The Word of God responds to our thirst for meaning.”
In this week’s Wednesday audience, Pope Leo XIV explores the profound and vital link between the Word of God and the life of the Church.
It is in the life and the faith of the Church where Sacred Scripture finds the space to carry out its particular task and achieve its purpose: to make Christ known, and to open dialogue with God. When we read the Bible with an inner attitude of prayer, God comes towards us and enters into conversation with us.
“We live surrounded by so many words, but how many of these are empty! On the contrary, the Word of God responds to our thirst for meaning, for the truth about our life. . . . Let us therefore open our hearts and minds in order to receive this gift, following the example of Mary, Mother of the Church.”
