by Roy Peachey
One of the most important words for Christians is “word” itself. Or “Word.” The capital letter is important. Why? Because, as St John writes in the bold opening to his Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” The word is not a thing: it is a person. God himself. So why does St John use this word – “Word” – to describe God? To answer that question we need to go back to the very start of the Bible, to the passage that St John is clearly referring to:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
God’s word has tremendous power. He created everything out of nothing. He spoke and there was light. He spoke and the animals were created. He spoke and Adam was formed in His own image. His Word is not simply a voice echoing in Heaven: he is a person in his own right, the second person of the Trinity, the eternal Son of God.
Now the Trinity is a complicated concept but the key idea to grasp for the moment is that the Word of God became man and “dwelt among us”. It is no surprise, then, that Jesus’ words had great power too, the same power as God the Father demonstrated in creating the world. When Jesus spoke people were healed. He didn’t need to use medicine or magic. His words were enough.
So, the Word of God means God Himself. It means Jesus Christ. But that answer may well raise another question. If the Word of God is God himself then why do we talk about the Bible as the word of God?
The Bible is truly inspired by God – it is vitally important that we read it and learn from it – but the Bible is important because it points us towards the Word of God, towards Christ Himself. In fact, the best way to read the Bible is to do so in the expectation that God will speak to us through it. When we read the Bible we are listening out for Jesus. Jesus, the Word of God, speaks through the words on the page because he wants to enter into a dialogue with us. The relationship is what really matters.
There is one last point to be made about “word.” A couple of years ago I had an interesting chat with some 16-year olds. Many of them thought that there wasn’t good evidence for the truth of Christianity, but that didn’t really matter as long as they had faith, by which they meant a sort of blind belief in God. I tried to explain to them that there is, in fact, plenty of evidence for the truth of Christianity and that faith is not closing your eyes and hoping for the best. In other words, I wanted them to understand that Christianity is a reasonable, rational religion. As Pope Benedict XVI once reminded us, logos, the Greek word St John uses in his Gospel, “means both reason and word”. Our God is a God of reason, not a God who wants blind obedience to stuff we don’t really believe in. He is a God who is reason himself, the Word himself: a God who is always true to his word.

I Want Holy God
Life-story of Little Nellie of Holy God
When the nuns of the Good Shepherd Convent in Cork, Ireland, welcomed the little three-year-old invalid Nellie Organ on May 11, 1907, little did they think that the great Pope Saint Pius X would say of her a few short years later: “She’s a little angel. Her patience was admirable, her resignation in suffering was so perfect. And then, she understood supernatural things in a superior manner”. Father Bernard des Ronces bases his account of Little Nellie’s life on the most reliable sources. The result is possibly the most complete biography of the child who was chosen by God to encourage Pope Pius X to allow little children to receive Holy Communion.

Dominic Barberi
An introduction to one of the least known yet most influential apostles to the English. Famously, Blessed Dominic Barberi (1792–1849) received Saint John Henry Newman into the Catholic Church, yet even the most renowned Newman scholars hardly pause to consider the significance of the man at whose feet Newman knelt to make his confession on a stormy night in October 1845. Blessed Dominic had longed to minister in England for most of his adult life. He was a gifted theologian, though he may not have known what a prodigious author he was, or of his extraordinary spiritual gifts – his ecstasies and visions, his prophetic insight and ability to read souls – and almost constant experience of the ‘dark night’ of the soul, spiritual agonies constantly offered up for the conversion of England.

How Christianity Saved Civilisation
Ancient Rome’s brutal culture exploited the weak and considered human life expendable. Women were used as property; unwanted children were left on the streets to die. Four centuries later, even ordinary men and women prospered in what had become a vigorous new Christian society, a society that served the vulnerable, exalted women, treasured virtue, and loved peace.
Faith had triumphed. Truth was proclaimed. And on this rock-solid foundation, Christian society flourished in the West for the next 1500 years.
Here you’ll learn about the seven specific areas where any paganism, ancient or modern, is particularly vulnerable. They provide a roadmap for modern Christians to reclaim for the Faith our own neo-pagan modern culture.
Facing an overwhelmingly dark and hostile culture, Rome’s early Christians took the steps necessary to transform it. Their struggles and the hard lessons they learned documented here afford us hope that, by imitating their example, we may do the same for our culture today.

A Devotional Journey into the Mass
A church destroyed. A congregation silenced. A relationship shattered. Yet even in life’s darkest valleys, a small flame can light the way toward healing and hope. A deadly fire rips through St. James Church, devastating the congregation and Pastor Dave. Adjoining Hadleigh University uses the tragedy to kick the congregation off campus. The escalating controversy creates a dilemma for the small church – can Christians fight for their rights and be the light for Christ at the same time? Facing a court case and his own struggle to see Christ’s light in heartbreak, Dave asks for help from Pearce, his estranged brother – a big-city lawyer and an atheist – to fight for the church’s right to exist.

How to be Holy
The story of the conflict between slave-traders and Jesuits during the colonisation of South America by Spain and Portugal. In 1750 Jesuit priest Gabriel (Jeremy Irons) arrives in the Amazon to build a mission for the Guarani Indians. He comes into conflict with slave trader Mendoza (Robert De Niro), who kills or captures many of the tribe but escapes punishment due to the fact that he is an aristocrat. However, it transpires that even Mendoza has a conscience when he comes to Gabriel asking for penance. A visually stunning epic, The Mission recounts the true story of two men – a man of the sword (Robert De Niro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons) – both Jesuit missionaries who defied the colonial forces of mighty Spain and Portugal to save an Indian tribe from slavery in mid-18th-Century South America.
