The Word of the Lord

“The word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12). On Sundays and great

feasts the Mass has two readings before the proclamation of the Gospel. The first is

taken from the Old Testament or, in Paschaltide, from the Acts of the Apostles. The

second is taken from the Letters of Saint Paul, from the writings of another Apostle, or

from the Book of Revelation. The two readings that precede the Gospel and lead up to it

either point to the dawning light of Christ or bathe in the splendor of his resurrection.

Persons chosen to serve as lectors must be “truly suited to perform the function

and should receive careful preparation, so that the faithful listening to the readings from

the sacred texts may develop in their hearts a warm and living love for Sacred Scripture”

(GIRM, art. 101). The readings are proclaimed from the ambo and introduced by means

of the prescribed formula: “A reading from the book of . . . ,” or “A reading from the

Letter of . . . .” At the end of the reading the lector sings or says, “The Word of the

Lord.” In response the assembly sings or says, “Thanks be to God.”
