Lector Ministry

…from which the faithful may be instructed and refreshed. In the Mass the table both of God’s Word and of Christ’s body is prepared… …from which the faithful may be instructed and refreshed. GIRM #28

God is speaking to us. When the scriptures are read; it is as if the book disappears. The lector becomes the mouthpiece of God. God uses the voice of the lector to say something that applies to the world today. The lector does not just pronounce words – the lector communicates a divine message.

Rule of St Benedict (d. 543 AD) Anyone can read Scriptures in public… …only a believer can proclaim them.

Preparation is key!

The most important preparation for being able to proclaim the Word of God well: A heart which regularly converses with God. A life which is lived in faithful service.

Read all of the readings for the day Preparation I Read all of the readings for the day Take it in – what word or phrase strikes you? remains with you? Be challenged by it – how does it give life to me?

Preparation II Do I have the proper pronunciations? Have I studied the Workbook for suggestions on voicing, inflection and emphasis?

WORKBOOK

Workbook assistance:

Physical Preparation III Know the room and furnishings. Where will I sit? Know the sound system, microphone Is the Lectionary ready?

Lectionary

Book of the Gospels

Physical Preparation III - continued Is the other reader here? Is the deacon here? If not, will I be carrying in the Book of the Gospels? (New) If the deacon is not present, review the General Intercessions (Prayers of the Faithful).

This new… The Bishop has asked that, when present, the deacon read the Prayers of the Faithful.

Ambo with prayer book on shelf.

Practice in front of a mirror Techniques Confidence, poise Clear and steady voice Pace, clarity, pauses Practice in front of a mirror

Techniques – continued… Speed – when your reading pace seems too slow to you, it’s probably about right. Eye contact – improved by text familiarity and a slower pace. Project feeling not drama.

Lector’s Ten Commandments I will remember that it's about God and His WORD, never about me. I will practice names, and proclaim them with confidence. I will know the readings, having prayed and practiced them in the week before Mass. I will honor my family in Heaven in my posture and my prayerfulness. I will proclaim the living Word with an urgent passion that is alive, not dead.

Lector’s Ten Commandments part 2 I will dress in a way that brings honor to my Father's House and family. I will not seek affirmations or compliments, realizing all glory belongs to God. I will respect the ministry, only proclaiming the Word if prepared to do so, and only proclaiming it exactly as it is found in the Lectionary text. I will support, uplift and pray for others who also seek and proclaim God's Word. I will honor the opportunity to proclaim the Word and recognize the privilege.

2. If you are not able to keep your assigned Mass, it is your responsibility to find a substitute. The parish website (www.olcparish.net) includes a contact listing of all ministers.

While you will most likely have been assigned a particular reading for that Mass, be prepared to proclaim both readings, in the event that the other lector does not show for their assigned ministry.

Upon arrival 15 minutes before Mass, check in with the Mass “captain.” Note: We are sure our lectors will understand if they might be replaced if not checked-in by 10 minutes before Mass.

Captain’s station

Sign In Sheet

Ministry Crosses

Check that the Lectionary is on the ambo, opened to the correct page.

Meet in Vestry for Prayer along with other ministers 5 – 7 min before Mass.

Person with the 1st Reading 1st Reading Prayers of Faithful (if no deacon) Person with the 2nd Reading 2nd Reading - Carries in Book of the Gospels (if no deacon)

Additional Items: The Lector should be seated on the Ambo side of the church. Bow when entering or leaving the sanctuary. Bow is to the Altar when standing outside the sanctuary, never bow to the Lectionary or Ambo. Wait for the church to settle down before starting to proclaim the Word.

We must always remember that it’s always about proclaiming the Word and never about us. As a Lector, you will be viewed, and properly so, as a leader in the parish. Your behavior will be watched as a model for others. Make your own singing, praying and responses sincere and enthusiastic.

The Procession 1 In the event that no deacon is serving at the Mass, one of the lectors will walk in the procession carrying the Book of the Gospels.

The Procession 2 The lector will follow the altar servers, holding the Book slightly elevated – such that he/she can see over the top.

The Procession 3 Without pausing at the foot of the Sanctuary, the lector will proceed directly to the back of the Altar and immediately place the Book into the stand.

Procession 4 In the meantime, the priest and the servers will stop at the foot of the Sanctuary steps, waiting for the lector to place the Book. After the Book is placed, the lector steps back a step, and all bow to the Altar together.

Procession 5 After the bow, the lector proceeds to his/her seat. Lectors do no process out at the end of Mass.

New/ Prospective Lectors Please fill out an interest form. We do most of our communicating through email. The complete schedule is posted on the website.

New lector info – continued 1 You can use the website to “block out” your busy days/weekends, but only before the schedule is produced. Each week we send out ministry reminders. Family members can be linked to serve at the same Masses.

Thank you for offering to serve in this ministry. Prayer & Blessing Thank you for offering to serve in this ministry. You will be blessed by it.
