ST. MICHAEL CATHOLIC CHURCH READER MINISTRY
A Reader's Prayer: “May the Lord be in my heart and on my lips that I may worthily proclaim the Good News of Salvation."
The reader serves the Eucharistic assembly by telling the story of God’s saving work in the lives of His people. The role of the reader is to tell the story so those gathered for Mass are touched by hearing the words.
“We draw on Holy Scripture from the Bible for the readings. We consider them to be God speaking directly to us. For us, the Word of God is the living Word. God is speaking to us as a community, and He asks us to be faithful to His Word. Being able to listen, to hear and then to act requires time, practice, commitment, and a desire to fulfill all of this.” – Fr. Bolaji Boyalla
