Vatican Council II has ordained that “the treasures of the Bible are to be opened up more lavishly, so that richer fare may be provided for the faithful at the table of God’s word” (Sac. Concilium, n. 51). This has been done partly when the Lectionary was revised in a way that a more representative portion of the Holy Scriptures is read to the people in a prescribed number of years. But the Council also recommends that aside from the liturgy, we put ourselves in touch with the Word of God through devotional reading, study, or instruction. Another way is the ancient practice of Lectio Divina which sees a revival among the faithful today.
366 Days with the Lord, now in its 18th edition, has always aimed to be an instrument in bringing the Word of God to the people.
