what and Why do we read?

“Lector” or “Reader” reads the first and second readings from the ambo at Mass. In preparation, they break open the Words, deepen and enlighten their minds with insights so the Words of God dwell in them. When they read, the Words of God come alive. They are proclaiming and sharing their appreciation of the Words with the Assembly.
In the absence of a Deacon, the reader announces the intentions of the Universal Prayer from the ambo.
