Svjetlo riječi

Svjetlo riječi (Croatian: Light of the Word) is a Bosnian monthly family magazine covering the subjects of faith, society, and culture. The owner and publisher of the magazine is the Franciscan Province of Bosna Srebrena.

On the trace of the rich publishing history of the Bosnian Franciscans, the magazine was started in 1983 in Visoko by a group of Franciscan enthusiasts, members of the two Franciscan provinces in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The publishers of the magazine until 1992 were the provincials of the two provinces. Since that year, the Bosnian Franciscan Province remained the sole owner and publisher. The magazine is edited by a small editorial staff, which is named by the provincial authorities.

From the very start, apart from its religious themes, the magazine also engaged cultural, societal, and even political issues, and because of that, during its twenty-year existence, it earned a respectable number of both admirers and critics.
