Thank you for your advice on this topic. While I've only just begun my own journey into this ministry, it came to me because I would prefer people proclaim as you suggest, with life, with intonation using the entire vocal spectrum, eye contact. Some would say it is dramatizing the Word, but I say phooey to that. And anyone who's spent time reading to children ought to understand this.

This is awesome. Very useful. Thank you so much for putting it together.

Pray before proclaiming the word.

I am a lector for my church and I really enjoyed this. Thank you! I'm reading for Palm Sunday tomorrow I'm so nervous!

[@lightintransit7450]

I am very happy it helped you. How did Sunday go?

[@alanadarlyn8576]

It went very well thank you very much. I got so many complements on my reading. They were all shocked because of my young age (16) I guess I did pretty well!

Hey I am doing this for my very first time next week any tips ?

[@alanadarlyn8576]

@@Randomperson-up4ylgo slow and pronunciation is super important. Don’t be nervous and remember people are more focused on the words than any slip ups. Make sure you’re loud and speak clearly. It’s been a while since I’ve done this but I remember just how nervous I’d get. You’re gonna do great, good luck 😊

Could you give us an example of how an instruction, an acclamation, or a liturgical song should be read. I am referring to GIRM 38 which says '... the tone of voice should correspond to the genre of the text..." Some readers are overly dramatic like a theatrical performance. Is that allowed?

[@The12thSeahorse]

Thank you for an outstanding presentation on the ‘Proclamation of the Word’. Beside what was mentioned.......a dressed code should also be included. However this is opened to interpretation by many. Dress makes the man or women which there forth clothes the Word. I have seen many lector’s dress as if the proclamation was a causal occasion instead of a foremost occasion.

Thank you for your wonderful ministry, I will be showing it to our parish lectors in Montreal. Blessings to your team,

[@brianscott2281]

Thank you!

[@bertg7867]

Awesome! Very refreshing and hope all lectors in all the churches would take a moment to view this.

[@lightintransit7450]

Thank You for the comment. We worked hard on all four videos and hope that they will help everyone taking up these ministries and give them some insight to their work.
