About the Project

Every word in the Bible is related to another, not only by the laws of syntax but by the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, by focusing on one word, we come to a spiritual encounter with the Word of God. Daily reading forms in us an attentiveness to the living presence of Christ in the verses we read and meditate upon.

The “The Word” project was created out of the desire to deepen our bond with Jesus and also from the desire to share the experience of His Person. When we open the biblical Books, we come to discover that from them emerges a multidimensional image, or icon, of the Son of God, the Eternal Word of the Father.

A fitting motto of the project is a thought of St. John of the Cross taken from his work Ascent of Mount Carmel:

Ascent of Mount Carmel (Subida del Monte Carmelo)

Today, in this present time of grace, when faith is already founded in Jesus Christ and the law of the Gospel has been proclaimed, there is no need to question God in the former way. For He has given us His Son, who is His only Word — He has no other — and in this one Word He has spoken everything to us at once. There is nothing more to be said. (Ascent of Mount Carmel, Book II, Chapter 22,3)

There is no need to question as before, but we must continue to listen anew every day. Therefore we share this experience in order to guard in our hearts the gift of the Word of God.
