31st Sunday in Ordinary Time - A. "The word of God is now at work in you who believe."
St. Jerome once wrote, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." Fifty years ago the Second Vatican Council freed the Catholic Church from its fear that the faithful will misinterpret the bible if they dare to read it. It called for the riches of Scripture to be opened in the Eucharistic liturgy, through a three-year cycle of readings, and for pastors to encourage young and old to read, study and pray the bible. The Holy Spirit continues to be at work through the word.
