Lectors Write

In response to an article in this week's article by Sister Manners on the subject of Lectors, ABJ from Conyers, GA has this to say:

I'm a lector at our church and I know what you mean about the differences in delivery for each individual persons. I myself take this privelege very seriously and each week study the readings, whether or not I'm on the schedule to read just to be ready. I also get feedback from my family. I always ask them how I read. Was I too fast, too slow, too monotonous, so I can correct it for next time? Lastly, I pray to the Holy Spirit to guide me so that I can deliver the Word so people can understand.
