Author Description

Workbook for Lectors, Gospel Readers, and Proclaimers of the Word® can provide the ongoing instruction and advice that ministers of the word need. It's almost like hiring a personal coach for each reader. Not only does Workbook assist in preparing an assigned reading on a specific occasion, but when ministers of the word read this resource every week as a way of reflecting on and learning about the Scriptures, it strengthens their proclamation skills and deepens their spiritual lives so that they can touch the hearts of your assembly with their reading. Trainers and coaches can't be available during the week to help readers practice for Sunday, but Workbook can be. It contains: readings in large print for easy practice with words in bold indicating suggestions for emphasis, commentaries that give background and explain the meaning of the reading, advice on how to proclaim the reading, and margin notes with pronunciation guides and more tips for proclamation. Workbook's introduction gives orientation to the ministry and catechesis about the place of the readings in the Mass. This year's authors are Graziano Marcheschi with Nancy Seitz Marcheschi.
