proclaiming the word of God, during liturgical celebrations, particularly the
Holy Eucharist.

conduct; you must strive to grow in holiness through prayer and
meditation on the Word of God. Remember that, there are many
ministers, there is but one Lord.

As ministers of the Word of God be therefore, especially observant of the


Lord’s command to love your neighbor. In the scriptures Jesus said to his
disciples: “This is my commandment, that you should love one another as
I have loved you.”

to your brothers and sisters, and so serve to build up the Church?

PRESIDER: Are you resolved to strive to grow in holiness through constant prayer and
meditation on the Word of God?

CANDIDATE: I am.

PRAYER OF BLESSING

(All stand. The candidates kneel and the celebrant invites the faithful to pray.)

PRESIDER: Everlasting God,


when he read in the synagogue at Nazareth,
your Son proclaimed the good news of salvation
for which he would give up his life.
Bless these readers,
as they proclaim your words of life;
strengthen their faith
that they may read with conviction and boldness,
and put into practice what they read.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

ALL: Amen.
