LECTORSHIP MINISTRY “When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his word, proclaims the Gospel. Therefore, the readings from the Word of God are to be listened to reverently by everyone, for they are an element of the greatest importance in the Liturgy. Although in the readings from Sacred Scripture the Word of God is addressed to all people of whatever era and is understandable to them, a fuller understanding and a greater efficaciousness of the word is nevertheless fostered by a living commentary on the word, that is, by the Homily, as part of the liturgical action. “ (General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. 29)
Lectors proclaim the Word of God at Mass and other liturgical services. Lectors prepare by understanding what they will proclaim, by prayer, and by practicing. Please prayerfully consider joining our Lectors Ministry as your schedule allows. If you are interested in becoming a Lector, please contact Marilyn Thornburg at [email protected] or [email protected]
May you continue having a blessed Easter season. Fr. Albert Kemboi
