To the lector is entrusted the responsibility for the public reading of the Bible-a vessel of God’s Word. Consequently, the work of the lector should always be pursued with a sense of reverence, responsibility, and diligence. The function of proclaiming the readings is by tradition not presidential but ministerial. The Liturgy of the Word is to be celebrated in such a way as to favor meditation and in the readings, the table of God’s Word is spread before the faithful, and the treasures of the Bible are opened to them.
