The Word of God has the power to transform us, Pope tells pilgrims (Vatican Press Office)

In his Angelus address on January 23, the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time and Sunday of the Word of God, Pope Francis reflected on the day’s Gospel reading (Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21).

Suggesting that the faithful read St. Luke’s Gospel this year, the Pope said, “Remember: the Word of God transforms an ordinary day into the today in which God speaks to us. So, let us pick up the Gospel and choose each day a small passage to read and re-read ... In time we will discover that these words are made especially for us, for our life. They will help us to welcome each day with a better, more serene outlook, because when the Gospel enters into today’s world, it fills it with God.”
