Guide for Lectors and Readers, Second Edition

Because readers provide a bridge between the Word of God and the assembly, helping Christ speak to his people, they need to understand, believe, and love the Word of God they proclaim. The Introduction to the Lectionary calls for a preparation for lectors and readers that includes spirituality, biblical and liturgical formation, and technical instruction for proclamation. This book provides exactly that in an inviting and readable style that grounds readers in essential knowledge and inspires them to keep learning and growing. This resource includes:
Theological and historical reflections on the liturgy and the ministry
Practical skill-building and advice for serving in this role
Ways to deepen your spirituality and call to discipleship
Answers to frequently asked questions
