The reader is a member of the community entrusted with the important service of proclaiming the Word of God in the liturgy. You must be aware of this and live the joy and at the same time the responsibility of being the means by which the assembly receives and celebrates that Word with which God speaks to His children.
The reader, as "man of the word," imbues life with the word written in the Bible, so that it can be heard and accepted by the assembly as the Word of God.
