The theme for the fifth Sunday of the Word of God, to be observed on Sunday, January 21, 2024, is &#8220;Remain in my Word\u201d (John 8,31). This celebration stands to remind the faithful of the importance and value of Sacred Scripture for the Christian life, as well as the relationship between the Word of God and the liturgy. Additionally, it reminds each of us of the importance of incorporating time every day with the Scriptures. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/committees\/divine-worship\/sunday-word-god\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Find helpful USCCB resources here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/bishops-blog-focusing-on-the-word-of-god-and-life\/attachment\/1705333462843\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26197\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1705333462843.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to experiencing the Word of God in the Liturgy and our personal prayer, making time to read, discuss, and pray with Scripture as a family is also very important to fostering a deeper relationship with God.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSet aside some family time for a short reading of a Scripture passage, for example, the Sunday Gospel. Choose a comfortable and quiet place in the home, away from the distractions of television and cell phones. Begin with a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to open your hearts to God&#8217;s Word. Read the passage aloud and then allow some time for the family to reflect and share their impressions. Finish with a prayer together that this Word will bear fruit in your lives, helping you in the walk toward holiness.\u201d ~ Liturgical and Pastoral Handbook for the 5th Sunday of the Word of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Vatican\u2019s Dicastery for Evangelization has a free downloadable handbook (also available in Spanish and Portuguese) to help you, your parish, and your family embrace more fully the abundant graces that come with spending time listening to God\u2019s Word. The Sacred Scriptures, authored by God himself, communicate to us the truth and beauty of a life of faith in a language we can understand. In the coming weeks, I will discuss how the Scriptures can be experienced most profoundly during the Mass through the Liturgy of the Word.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/bishops-blog-focusing-on-the-word-of-god-and-life\/329660404_6223159757776588_2788682095890940875_n\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26199\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-26199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/01\/329660404_6223159757776588_2788682095890940875_n-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Annual March For Life<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many wonder why people continue to organize and\/or participate in the March for Life.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even though Roe v. Wade was overturned on the Federal level, allowing more freedom at the state level to enact pro-life laws, there still sadly exists a profound disregard for life. Staggeringly, the number of abortions annually is still well over 900,000 each year, and that number is expected to decrease only by roughly 200,000 each year in a post-Roe America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marchforlife.org\/national-march-for-life\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">March for Life website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reminds us, \u201cMany national legislative battles loom, including even keeping longstanding Hyde protections, which limit government funding for abortion on annual appropriation bills\u2026 The goal of the national March for Life is to not only change laws at the state and federal level, but to change the culture to ultimately make abortion unthinkable. With the role of the states being more important, we are also growing a strong state march for life initiative quickly, however, we will continue to march every January at the national level until a culture of life is restored in the United States of America.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I noted in my homily at the annual Pro-Life Mass here in the Diocese last year, yes, the Supreme Court decision of June 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade was an important step forward in the legal realm, but changing hearts is more important, and still remains a challenge before us. We need to continue to pray that God will change hearts for a better world, a world of peace, love, and understanding\u2014one that is respectful of every human life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My prayers go with all the pilgrims from the Diocese of Fall River, as well as those traveling from across the nation, to participate in this week\u2019s March for Life activities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/bishops-blog-respect-for-life-and-the-word-of-god\/untitled-design\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10992\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Untitled-design.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The National Prayer Vigil for Life<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For those not traveling to Washington, DC, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has organized a prayer vigil so we can all be united together in praying for the dignity of every human life.
