On Sunday, May 4 this year, the 9th National Reading of the Holy Scriptures will take place. It refers to the Baptism of Poland, providing an opportunity to recall the Christian roots of our nation. With its theme and selected texts from the First and Second Letters of St. Paul to the Corinthians and the First Letter of St. Peter, it fits into this year’s pastoral program, which focuses on the virtue of hope. This time, the guiding thought of the event will be: “The Risen Christ – our hope of glory.” The main goal of the National Reading of the Holy Scriptures, which inaugurates the Biblical Week, is to invite the faithful to personal, daily reading and reflection on the Scriptures. The solemn celebration will take place in Warsaw – at the Temple of Divine Providence, at Jasna Góra, and at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki at 7:00 a.m., together with the Eucharist presided over by Bishop Piotr Przyborek from the Archdiocese of Gdańsk. It will be broadcast on TVP1 and at www.faustyna.pl, on YouTube, and via mobile apps: faustyna.pl.

From Sunday, May 4 to May 10, 2025, the Church will observe the 17th Biblical Week under the motto: “The Risen Christ – our hope of glory.”
