The Lector is responsible for proclaiming the Word of God known to us through the Scriptures. The Lector speaks the stories of God to the people of God. The Lector needs to be a clear speaker, capable of addressing a group in a large space with understanding and confidence. Some experience with public speaking is helpful. The Lector needs to be willing to prepare for the reading. Usually this means getting the reading in advance, reflecting on the passage, and studying enough to understand the meaning of the text. Commentaries (explanations of the texts) are available. A Lector must do their to make sure that the proclamation of the Word of God is done reverently, knowledgeably, and expressively.
