This paper explores how the students of the 8th Theology Cohort (STL K8) at the Catholic Institute of Vietnam receive, reflect on, and live out the Word of God. Recognizing Scripture as spiritual nourishment, the students integrate the Word into their daily prayer, study, and mission. The article presents survey findings revealing a deep love and commitment among students to read, meditate on, and proclaim the Word through homilies and community life. Special emphasis is placed on Lectio Divina as a method of internalizing Scripture. Moreover, the paper affirms that living the Word is not only academic but a path of witness and missionary discipleship. The students’ fidelity to the Word empowers them to share the Gospel effectively in both religious and secular contexts. The study concludes that Scripture shapes their theological formation and strengthens their commitment to evangelization and Christian witness in modern society.
