DOWNLOAD EBOOKAnyone called upon to read from the Lectionary at Mass will appreciate LTP’s Pronunciation Guide for the Lectionary. Like the first edition, it includes words from the full Lectionary for Mass-- Sundays, weekdays, ritual, and votive Masses. But LTP has added to this second edition the names of recently canonized saints for the United States and Canada and additional words suggested by readers. The easy-to-understand pronunciation aids have been updated. This resource will enrich anyone who reads, studies, and prays the Scriptures privately, but it will be especially helpful to liturgical ministers who proclaim the Word in the liturgy: readers, deacons, priests, and masters of ceremony. Knowing how to pronounce the words gives readers the confidence and freedom to be fully present to their ministries—to be a clear channel for God’s Word to the assembly. Although readers who proclaim at Sunday Masses are usually assigned far ahead and expected to prepare their proclamations, weekday readers sometimes have less time to prepare. To make things more challenging, weekday readings often include difficult place names and personal names. Providing a copy of Pronunciation Guide for the Lectionary in the sacristy could be a great service to weekday readers—and to everyone else. Those who lead Bible study groups in parishes would also find this guide invaluable. Anyone who loves to read and discuss Scripture will want a copy handy at home.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Lector's Guide and Commentary assists those whose calling, responsibility, and privilege it is to proclaim the Word of God through the public reading of Holy Scripture. It provides a brief, reliable commentary for each lectionary reading, and then offers suggestions for how the text can be delivered, so that the biblical Story might have its full impact on the Christian community gathered for worship. Pronunciations for unfamiliar words and names are also included. The Guide is for use by any congregation or tradition that follows the Revised Common Lectionary, and even includes the adaptations authorized for use in The Episcopal Church. Although designed first and foremost for lectors and lay readers, the Guide has also been written with other groups and uses in mind. For example, it can be used to trigger discussions in a Sunday school class or small group Bible study, or to serve as a resource for personal study, reflection, and devotion. It can also assist lay Eucharistic ministers when delivering the Word and Sacrament to the homebound and hospitalized, and even function as a first stop for preachers and teachers. In short, A Lector's Guide and Commentary is for anyone who wants to read the Bible with understanding.
