Lord, be in my heart and on my lips, that I may worthily announce your words of salvation.
Introduction
Christ is present in his word. The word of God unceasingly calls to mind and extends the plan of salvation, which achieves its fullest expression in liturgy. The liturgical celebration becomes therefore the continuing, complete and effective presentation of God’s word (IL #4). Proclamation of the word of God is truly a service to the Church. Readers bring the living word of God to the assembled faith community. When the Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself is speaking to his people (GIRM #29). The ministry of the word, therefore, should be treated with great dignity.
“When this word is proclaimed in the Church and put into living practice, it enlightens the faithful through the working of the Holy Spirit and draws them into the entire mystery of the Lord as a reality to be lived” (IL #47).
*Note that the Ministers of the Word is addressed as Lector in the Introduction to the Lectionary (IL) and Reader in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM).
