Youll
want all of your lectors to read this new guide. Effective for training
those new to the ministry and for rejuvenating the work of veterans, the
book can be used by individuals or groups. It gives lectors the
background and tools they need to study, pray, and proclaim scripture
well, it offers sound advice for dealing with the practical everyday
challenges of parish liturgies, and it nurtures spiritual growth in the
minister.
Inside
youll find a pastoral, inviting format and style; a basic theological
foundation of the ministry; liturgical catechesis about the ministers
role during the Mass; a brief history of the ministry; encouragement for
deepening the spirituality of the minister; generous quotations from the
documents of the Church; detailed, practical instruction for carrying
out the ministry; suggestions for further formation; frequently asked
questions; advice for responding to unusual or difficult circumstances;
a resource list; a glossary; questions for reflection or discussion; and
prayers.
