Living in the Word: ̶ ̶ We have considered together the call of Pope Francis to embrace fully the meaning of our Baptism and to live consciously as disciples of Jesus Christ. This means hearing the Word of God and practicing it. As we move forward in response to

this invitation of the Holy Father, it would be important to consider this one simple but urgent question: "Whose word do I, in fact, hear and follow?"
