FROM THE DESK OF FR. BONA: (1) This Sunday has been designated as the Sunday of the Word of God. The rationale is to be reminded of the importance of the Bible in the life of a Catholic. While we have highly developed rituals as we worship God, we should not forget to treasure and utilize the Word of God in our lives. We still have to be careful in interpreting it. Many people can interpret the same passage or phrase several different ways – and we want to avoid erroneous explanations. However, with a sure guidance we can greatly profit from it in our spiritual lives. The actual words of Jesus are like a precious relic to us. In the vestibule of our church, in the former baptistery, we have two lecterns set up. On one you can find the Hungarian Bible and on the other the English one. Stop by there often, even if just to read from the Bible one line or a passage.
(2) Another special day is this Monday. In all the Dioceses of the United States of America, January 22 (or January 23, when January 22 falls on a Sunday) is to be observed as a particular day of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life and of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion. On this day, but in fact on all the days, let us pray for this intention and offer some acts of penance. We can also charitably pray for the conversion of those who perform abortions, who still support the evil of abortion, and for the men and women who have been involved in abortions.
A SUGGESTED PRAYER BEFORE THE READING OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES: Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts and minds of your faithful servants and inflame them with the fire of your Divine love. LET US PRAY. O God who by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of your faithful servants grant us in the same Spirit to discern what is right and enjoy his comfort for ever. Through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns one God with you and the same Spirit world without end. Amen.
