Verbum Domini

In het derde onderdee van Paus Benedctus zijn post-synodale apostolische exhortatie Verbum Domini [het Woord van de Heer], verbum Mundo (Werelds Woord), herinnert hij de lezers van "de plicht van Christenen om het Woord van God in de wereld waarin zij leven en werken, aan te kondigen ". Paus Benedictus schrijft over de universele missie van de Kerk om het Woord van God uit te spreiden en van het belang om Gospelse principes in de seculiere wereld te brengen.

Pope Benedict's promulgation of Verbum Domini, the document in which he bestows on the Church the rich fruit of the twelfth Synod of Bishops (2008), which reflected on the Word of God in the life and mission of the Church. > 

Verbum Domini

> Verbum Domini joins Dei Verbum and three papal encyclicals-- Pope Leo XIII's Providentissimus Deus (1893), Pope Benedict XV's Spiritus Paraclitus (1920), and Venerable Pius XII's Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943)-- as a milestone in the development of Catholic teaching on Sacred Scripture, which is summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (nos. 101-141).
