Ten Good Reasons to Read God’s Word

Bible Enthronement in the Home

Inspired by Vatican II that says that Jesus is present in His Word (the Bible) just as He is present in the Eucharist, this practice of Enthroning the Bible in the Home is transforming many homes to be a place where the presence of Jesus is felt by every member of the family who believe.

The practice is that the Bible is placed in an altar in the prominent place in the home (usually in the living room). The Bible is always open to remind the family that Jesus is there in His Words listening to whatever the members of the family say or do. So the members of the family who are initiated to this attitude are then careful not to do or say things that will be displeasing before God. They become careful in the home just as they are careful in the church where they believe that Jesus is present. They may place flowers and electric lights to remind them of Jesus’ presence in His Word, in their home.

More over the families that enthroned the Bible are encouraged at least once a week to make a prayerful reading of the bible, with all the members present if possible. The method is very simple so that every one can follow the discussion within that prayerful reading. The method is called Bible Sharing through the seven steps.
