Abide in My Word 2025

Each time we gather for Mass, we respond to Jesus' invitation to follow him and to allow him to transform us. We hear his voice in the word of God proclaimed, and we receive him in the Eucharist. Every day, the Church offers us the word of God in the daily Mass readings. Whether we are able to attend Mass or not, we can still pray with the Church.

This year's cover of Abide in My Word presents a beautiful portrayal of the Virgin Hodegetria, which translates from Greek as “She who shows the way.” In this image, Mary points to Christ, the source of salvation for the world, and Jesus raises his hand in a sign of blessing. Pray with the thousands of Catholics who rely on Abide in My Word to nourish their hearts each day.
