Scripture is a door through which you can experience God
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the one who brings good news, announcing salvation.” —Isaiah 52:7
God longs to speak to his people. Lectors are his mouthpiece.
If you’ve accepted the responsibility to be a lector, do you ever wonder if the people in your congregation are hearing God’s message when you read at Mass? Do they clearly understand the message?
Perhaps first you should ask yourself the same questions. Are you clearly understanding the message of God you’ve been entrusted with to proclaim?
How can the congregation understand the message if you don’t fully understand yourself what you are reading?
Now you have an opportunity to improve your understanding of the Gospel and your lector skills, with the workshop “A Day with the Sunday Gospels According to Matthew.” The Gospel of Matthew will be used throughout the liturgical year that begins on December 1, and the other readings in the lectionary are selected with the Gospel in mind. Therefore, gaining more knowledge about Matthew’s Gospel can help you better understand the readings you will be proclaiming throughout the year.
Come join us November 9. Full details are here.

It seems to be part of our DNA to sort everything in life into two categories — right or wrong, good or bad. Of course, we are always on the “right” side and to demonstrate our “rightness” we demonize the other side and problems ensue. How can we break the cycle?

I hope that my reflections make you more attentive to the Eucharistic Prayer at the next Mass you attend. When you really listen to the readings and the prayers, the pieces of the puzzle of the Mass come together and you see the incredible vision God has for us.
