Episode notes
Council Restored Richer Scripture Readings
- The Second Vatican Council greatly expanded Scripture in the Mass to provide richer fare at the table of God's word.
- Denis McNamara explains this change as intentional restoration, not casual addition.
Prepare And Read Prayerfully
- Prepare and practice readings; lectors should be slow, loving, articulate, and prayerful.
- Jesse Weiler and Denis McNamara recommend lectors pre-read and adopt a measured delivery.
Kahal Structure Prefigures The Mass
- The liturgy of the word mirrors Old Testament kahal: call, hearing, assent, and sacrificial ratification.
- Denis McNamara links Nehemiah and Sinai rituals as foreshadowing Mass structure.
