September is the month dedicated by the Church to the Bible, to remember its centrality in the life of a believer. A very good reason for a new appointment with the Word of God.
When looking for a synonym or a way to describe the Bible, the expression the Word of God or simply the Word is generally used. It is also said that the Word of the Father illuminates, guides our way. And, as we’re in September, the month devoted to remembering and highlighting the importance of the Bible in our lives, we turn to the thematic index, found in many of its editions, to see the references to the word. The search in both the New and the Old Testament brought interesting answers to our attention, which, in this new appointment with the Bible, we share with the readers of Digital Catholic Missionaries.

John 1, 1-4.
Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.
