To be a proclaimer of the Word is an awesome ministry and responsibility!
“To be received and integrated into the life of Christ’s faithful, the word of God demands a living
faith. Hearing the word of God unceasingly proclaimed arouses that faith.
“The Sacred Scriptures, above all in their liturgical proclamation, are the source of life and
strength. As the Apostle Paul attests, the Gospel is the saving power of God for everyone who
believes. Love of the Scriptures is therefore a force reinvigorating and renewing the entire
people of God. All the faithful without exception must therefore always be ready to listen gladly
to God’s word. Then this word is proclaimed in the Church and put into living practice, it
enlightens the faithful through the working of the Holy Spirit and draws them into the entire
mystery of the Lord as a reality to be lived. The word of God reverently received moves the
heart and its desires toward conversion and toward a life resplendent with both individual and
community faith, since God’s word is the food of Christian life and the source of the prayer of
the whole Church.
What powerful images of spiritual transformation…“source of life and strength “saving power of
God” “force reinvigorating and renewing the entire people of God” “moves the heart…toward
conversion”.
As a Proclaimer of the Word, you are the instrument of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works
through your being and your voice to accomplish, in the Sacred Scriptures proclaimed aloud,
the spiritual transformation of those listening.
