Welcome to our Scripture for Catholics resources Brochure, bringing you a range of books and products to help you deepen your love of the Bible.

Throughout this year, we in the Catholic Church in England and Wales are delighted to collaborate with Bible Society in celebrating, living and sharing God‘s word with an exciting new initiative called The God who Speaks.

This is an opportunity to enrich our faith and formation, and to explore new ways of engaging with the Bible through prayer, education, evangelisation, creative arts and social action.

This encouragement to all Catholics to read and engage with the Scriptures regularly is in line with Pope Francis' recent Apostolic Letter Aperuit Illis, in which he says: 'The relationship between the Risen Lord, the community of believers and sacred Scripture is essential to our identity as Christians.'

God speaks through his Word, the Bible, and through the Word made flesh – Jesus Christ. Reading the Bible, in families or as individuals, allows us to hear God speaking into our lives today. Our desire is to see more Catholics discovering the beauty and significance of Scripture at all times and in all places. We invite Catholics to take part in this initiative and to draw on the treasures of Scripture in their daily walk.

Take a look at our resources here, and �nd out more about The God who Speaks initiative on our website – godwhospeaks.uk

Contact Fleur Dorrell, Catholic Scripture Engagement Manager, for more information - �[email protected]

Living God,

you walk alongside us and speak to us throughout

the Scriptures.

Your Son, Jesus Christ, listens to our hopes and fears

and shows us how to live for one another.

Send us the Holy Spirit

to open our hearts and minds so that we may be

your witnesses throughout the world.

Amen

V. Your word is our path and your truth is our light.

Creator and Source of all,

you spoke to Moses calling your people into life.

He asked for your name and you revealed your mystery.

“I am who I am, who I will be, where I will be”. Your divine

life, beyond our inadequate images, beyond our fragile

attempts to know and control. And gradually, through

your prophets, you opened our minds and hearts to the

immensity of the mystery of your creative mercy.

Word made Flesh, you came among us to open up a way

and a life true to your mystery and true to our desire; a

Word that both speaks in our hearts and through the

vastness of your cosmos.

Holy Spirit, from the first Pentecost you enabled us to

hear the Word in our own reality and respond to it among

companions from every race and tongue. Provoke us

now to return to that divine word in Creation, that Word

enfleshed in Jesus, that Word spoken and recorded in the

Holy Scriptures.

Touch our minds and hearts today as we read alone, as we

proclaim in the liturgy, as we study together and, inspired

anew, help us to become that Word for all who seek the

way, the truth, and the life.

Amen
