Vatican II has this to say about the Lector/Reader
"Readers exercise a genuine liturgical function. They ought to discharge their office therefore, with the sincere devotion and decorum by so exalted a
ministry and rightly expected of them by God's people. Consequently, they must be deeply imbued with the spirit of liturgy, in the measure of proper to each
one. And they must be trained to perform functions in a correct and orderly manner."
The cycle of readings used in liturgy directs us on a journey of faith. Lectors are our storytellers on this journey, proclaiming the scripture in a
way that reminds us God's word is alive here and now. By utilizing provided preparation material, Lectors gain a fuller knowledge
and understanding of scripture. By proclaiming the scriptures in the liturgical assembly, lectors bring to birth the living Word of God. The lectors minister
the presence of God who speaks when the scriptures are proclaimed in church. Lectors help to feed the assembly from the table of the
Word, just as
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist help to feed the assembly from the table of the Eucharist.
If you have heard Gods call to proclaim His Word, we encourage you to explore the opportunity of becoming a Lector here at St. Peter's.
