Pope Francis’ initiative aimed at placing the Holy Scriptures at the centre of the Christian life

The Basilica of Saint Anthony in Padua will join in celebrating Sunday of the Word of God on 21 January. This initiative was spearheaded by Pope Francis in his effort to place the Holy Scriptures at the centre of life along with the Eucharist.

The celebration in the Basilica on Sunday 21 January at 11.00am will include a special ritual: the enthronement and the incensing of the Gospel. Moreover, during the whole celebration in the presbytery, the Gospel will remain exposed.
