Lector Study Materials

The Workbook for Lectors, Gospel Readers, and Proclaimers of the Word (Mary A. Ehle, PhD and Margaret Nutting Ralph, PhD) is used by St. Catherine of Genoa Lectors to prepare for their readings.  The 2011 readings from Year A of the Lectionary for Mass are provided in the revised New American Bible translation, approved for use in the dioceses of the United States.  The workbook is provided to the lectors by the church and has a number of helpful features, including
  • pronunciation assistance
  • sense line format for readings mirror the Lectionary and aid the reader in preparation
  • lectionary numbers for each set of readings
  • commentaries for each reading, provide users with scriptural background
  • information and tips for effective proclamation
  • margin notes point to the logical divisions in the passages
  • bolded words help the reader know when to stress important sections and concepts
The Lector Readings page on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website has links to the complete text and audio for the current lector readings, as well as video reflections on those readings. There is also a link to sign up for the daily mass readings audio podcast. Clicking on a date in the calendar allows you to view the readings from the selected date.  

You can also listen to readings from another date, but there is no direct link.  The trick is to start with the following link http://ccc.usccb.org/cccradio/NABPodcasts/10_11_21.mp3 and replace the 10_11_21 in the link to be the YR_MM_DD of the reading you want to hear.  The above link would play the readings from November 21, 2010.  Audio files for the entire month are posted around the first of the month, at which time audio files from previous month are deleted.  If your readings are around the first of the month, you won't be able to listen very far in advance.  If your readings are at the end of the month, you will have the entire month to review them. Lectors should not forget that the 5pm Saturday mass uses the Sunday readings.

The Biblical Pronunciation Guide website has audio clips of all those hard to pronounce biblical words.
The Lector Prep website provides some additional information on each week's readings.
