Nairobi, 01 February, 2025 / 9:20 am (ACI Africa).
A Mozambican-born member of the Pious Society of the Daughters of St. Paul (FSP/Pauline Sisters) has underscored the need for Catholic communicators to anchor their work in the Word of God, highlighting the Bible as an essential tool for evangelization.
In an interview with ACI Africa shortly after participating in the Enthronement of the Bible during the Sunday of the Word at the Holy Family Minor Basilica of Kenya’s Nairobi Archdiocese, Sr. Olga Massango emphasized that communicators must familiarize themselves with the Scriptures, study them, and make them a guiding principle in their lives.

“The Bible is the tool of the communicator because, like Mary, they are called to conceive the Word of God through reading and studying it, then give Jesus to all by sharing their own experience of faith in the light of the Word of God,” Sr. Massango told ACI Africa January 26.
She explained that the Sunday of the Word of God is meant to encourage a deeper knowledge of Scripture, urging communicators to embrace the practice of studying and disseminating it.
