Punkt wyjścia artykułu stanowi przedstawione w adhortacji Verbum Domini współczesne rozeznanie i przeświadczenie Kościoła o potrzebie głoszenia chrześcijanom na nowo i z przekonaniem słowa Bożego, „by mogli konkretnie doświadczyć mocy Ewangelii” (VD 96). Przypomniana w dokumencie nieprzedawniona możliwość „ponawiania spotkania” z osobą Jezusa Chrystusa w słowie Bożym ukazana została na podstawie dwóch aspektów misterium słowa Bożego: jego skutecznego i sakramentalnego charakteru. Autor przestrzega przed zawężonym rozumieniem misterium słowa, które opowiada się za jego skutecznością zarezerwowaną jedynie do sprawowania liturgii i wskazuje na przeżywającą dziś renesans praktykę modlitwy słowem Bożym na drodze lectio divina.
This article stresses the necessity, expressed in the Exhortation Verbum Domini, of a new and persuasive proclamation of God’s Word, by which the believers “can concretely experience the power of the Gospel” (VD 96). There is a persistent reminder in the document of the need “to reiterate the meeting” with the person of Jesus Christ through the Word of God. The role of the word in that meeting with Christ, who appears himself in His word (VD 73), is shown in the article with two newly revisited aspects relating to mystery of the word of God: its effectiveness and sacramental nature. With regard to the conditions required to experience the effectiveness of the word of God, the author warns of the danger of reduction in comprehension of the mystery of the word, which should not be reduced only to the liturgy, but enlarged towards a recently revitalized praying practice of lectio divina. This ancient practice offers a true opportunity to experience a personal meeting with Jesus, to feel the supernatural effectiveness of the word, to find out with self‑confidence that “God speaks and responds to our questions” (VD 4). The word of God is much more than the speech of God; it is also a deed of God in the history of humankind, inviting to undertake an effort and making it possible to come into personal relation with Jesus present in God’s Word.
