The readings are more than history; they are God's Word of relationship and attest to His bond of love. While lectoring, God has taken possession of the lector to proclaim and call others to remember His message of love. The lector is the agent and is proclaiming the Word of God, especially of a living God communicating today. Lectors should be spiritually in tune and behaviorally consistent with the Way of Christ. The Church existed before the New Testament, and it is through the Church and sacred traditions that the scriptures make sense.
Oral reading is the medium of transmitting God's Word. The lector is not the originator of the idea to be communicated. The lector is the media of transmission to relay the message. The lector is used by God to proclaim and make real the love of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 50:4 - "The Lord God has given me a well-trained tongue that I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning he opens my ear that I may hear."
