Proclaim the Living Word of God to His People

God speaks to the faithful through the Ministry of Lectors of the Liturgy of The Word, therefore, it is treated with great dignity

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Word of God is not merely read during the liturgy. It is proclaimed, yet not with theatrical show.  Effective proclamation involves the delivery of the message with clarity, conviction and appropriate pace.  It demands the ability to evoke faith in others by demonstrating one’s own faith.  Proclamation is a special ministry which presupposes faith.  It also rouses faith in those who hear the Word proclaimed.  (LM Intro 55)
