Pray
In our effort to get the
reading right, it is possible to overlook this very important part of our
preparation.
Some Suggestions
ü
Read the next Sunday’s gospel
as a Sunday night prayer the week before you read.
ü
During the days before you proclaim
your reading, read the text you are to proclaim as part of your daily prayer.
ü
Pray that you be open to the Spirit
in finding the meaning of the text and in communicating it to the congregation.
ü
Pray for the Spirit to open the
minds and hearts of those who will hear your proclamation.
