in celebration of national bible week, i shall be sharing some of the lessons from my high 1 cle classes at xavier school last year, particularly about the sacred scriptures.
The Church holds this book in high regard because it is the primary source where we draw the foundation of our faith as God’s people. This is concretely expressed in the Church’s prayer life, especially in the Liturgy. During the Mass, God’s Word is celebrated in the Liturgy of the Word. Bible readings are taken from the Old and the New Testaments. The priest, in his homily, helps the faithful to interpret God’s message in the present time and context. Several gestures are likewise done to show reverence to God’s Word during the Mass. (e.g. standing position during the Gospel reading, incensing the book of Gospels before reading the Gospel, etc.)
