On Word of God Sunday, Fr. Paul Moret delivers a homily that’s both practical and spiritually rich, encouraging the faithful to move from passive familiarity with Scripture to active engagement. He answers common questions about Bible translations and study tools, emphasizes the Eucharistic link to the Word through the story of Emmaus, and reminds us that Scripture is rooted in real people, places, and events—not myth. Quoting St. Jerome’s bold claim, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ,” Fr. Paul urges the congregation to read, study, and pray with the Bible, so we can recognize Jesus more clearly both in the Word and in the breaking of the bread.
