In Dutch higher education the title lector is used for the leader of a research group (lectoraat) at a university of applied sciences. The title is officially translated to professor in English. The lector has a comparable set of tasks as (higher ranked) full professors at a (research) university, albeit at an applied rather than a fundamental scientific level.
In Polish, lektor is also used to mean "off-screen reader" or "voice-over artist". A lektor is a (usually male) reader who provides the Polish voice-over on foreign-language programmes and films where the voice-over translation technique is used. This is the standard localization technique on Polish television and (as an option) on many DVDs; full dubbing is generally reserved for children's material.
Historically, lectors (known as lectores in Cuba)[3] or readers in a cigar factory entertained workers by reading books or newspapers aloud, often left-wing publications, paid for by unions or by workers pooling their money. In the United States, the custom was common in the cigar factories of Ybor City in Tampa but was discontinued after the Ybor City cigar makers' strike of 1931.[4]
The practice apparently originated in Cuba.[5][6] Lectores were introduced in 1865 to educate and relieve boredom among cigar workers.[3] Lectores, and their reading material, are chosen by the workers of the cigar factory.[3] Lectores often take on extra-official roles and formerly acted as "spurs to dissent".[3] As of 2017, UNESCO is considering designating the profession a form of "intangible cultural heritage".[3]The Montecristo brand of cigars derives its name for the fondness that cigar makers had for listening to The Count of Monte Cristo.
At the conclusion of the Mass, the lector does not process with the Book of the Gospels. The Lectionary is never carried in procession. The lector may join in the procession at the end of Mass in the same order as in the procession to the altar.
The procedures linked in the blue column on this page apply to searches, reappointments, and promotions for instructional (non-ladder) lector-track faculty. Forms and templates for these processes may be found in the Instructional (Non-Ladder) Appointments Document Library.
I grew up attending Mass each week with my family, listening to my grandfather lector at our parish. For years I heard my grandfather talk about his love for reading the Bible at Mass. He was filled with pride knowing he had instilled that same love in his five children, including my mother.
One day when I was in in the 8th grade, I was given a sign-up sheet for becoming a lector. It had never been something I considered doing. Even the idea of public speaking frightened me. I put it aside, keeping open the slight possibility that I might volunteer someday.
My decision not only gave me a way to overcome a phobia, but it also opened a new door to actively participating in my faith. Before, going to church was something I had to to do because my parents wanted me to be there. I was present at the Mass every week but was only going through the motions.
Since deciding to become a lector four years ago, I have gained a much deeper appreciation for my Catholic faith. Mass is no longer something I have to go to; it is now something I want to attend. Whether I am in the pews, surrounded by members of a community I now consider myself a part of, or I am at the ambo, speaking to those same people, I take pride in participating in something I value so highly.
Each time I walk up the steps and prepare to speak, I remember everything my grandfather has taught me. I accept that it is alright to be afraid, as long as I confront those fears so that I can live my life to its fullest.
The USCCB website has the audio of each day's readings. It helps me to listen to someone else as part of my preparation. Also, most lectionaries (the big book with large type from which you read) generally have an easily-read typeface and a new line at the beginning of each sentence. I take care, however, NOT to pause when I reach the end of a line that has no punctuation. The thought continues into the next line. I am most grateful for our once-a-week class during high school, the lesson being devoted to public speaking. God bless Brother Albian Victor Hickey!
A lector (reader) in the West is a clerk having the second of the four minor orders. In all Eastern Churches also, readers are ordained to a minor order preparatory to the diaconate. The primary reason for a special class of readers was the need of some persons sufficiently educated to be able to read the books in church, for the Christians continued the Jewish practice of reading the Sacred Books publicly. The first mention of a Christian liturgical reader is by Justin Martyr (d. about 165) in I Apol., lxvii, 3, 4. The homily known as "II Clem. ad Corinthios" also contains a reference to a lector, anaginoskon (xix, 1). The position of reader was honourable and dignified. It involved a higher standard of education than that of most offices. Although Justin says that the bishop preached the sermon, it appears that the reader himself often went on to expound what he had read. As the idea obtained that a special blessing and dedication should be given to everyone who performs an office for the Church, the reader too was instituted by prayers and some ceremony. Readers were blessed and set apart, as were the fossores who dug graves, the notarii who kept registers, and widows. All the group of rituals that depend on the "Apostolic Constitutions" contain the rite of ordaining readers. "Apost. Const.", vii, xxii, tells the bishop to ordain a reader by laying on his hand and saying a prayer, which is given. The derived documents however forbid an imposition of hands. ("Epitome Const. Ap.", xiii; Funk, "Didascalia", Paderborn, 1905, II, p. 82; see also the "Egyptian Church Order", V, ib., p. 105).
During the first centuries all the lessons in the liturgy, including the Epistle and Gospel, were read by the lector. Cornelius I (251-53) in a letter to Fabius of Antioch mentions that the Church of Rome has forty-two acolytes and fifty-two exorcists, readers and doorkeepers. (Denzinger, "Enchiridion", n. 45). In the fourth century in Africa the Church of Cirta had four priests, three deacons, four subdeacons, and seven readers. The account of the persecution ("Gesta apud Zenophilum" printed in the appendix to Optatus of Mileve in the Vienna edition of "Corp. Script. eccl. lat.", XXVI, 185-97) describes how the readers kept the sacred books which the magistrate demanded to be given up (p. 187). An old set of Western canons, ascribed (wrongly) to a supposed Council of Carthage in 398, but really of the sixth century, gives forms for all ordinations. Canon 8 is about our subject: "When a reader is ordained let the bishop speak about him (faciat de illo verbum) to the people, pointing out his faith and life and skill. After this, while the people look on, let him give him the book from which he is to read, saying to him: Receive this and be the spokesman (relator) of the word of God and you shall have, if you do your work faithfully and usefully, a part with those who have administered the word of God" (Denzinger, op. cit., n. 156). But gradually the lectorate lost all importance. The deacon obtained the office of reading the Gospel; in the West the Epistle became the privilege of the subdeacon. In the Eastern Churches this and other lessons are still supposed to be read by a lector, but everywhere his office (as all minor orders) may be supplied by a layman. The lector is still mentioned twice in the Roman Missal. In the rubrics at the beginning it is said that if Mass be sung without deacon and subdeacon a lector wearing a surplice may sing the Epistle in the usual place; but at the end he does not kiss the celebrant's hand (Ritus celebr. Missam", vi, 8). On Good Friday the morning service begins with a prophecy read by a lector at the place where the Epistle is usually read (first rubric on Good Friday).
Everywhere the order of reader has become merely a stepping-stone to major orders, and a memory of early days. In the Roman Rite in is the second minor order (Ostiarius, Lector, Exorcista, Acolythus). The minor orders are conferred during Mass after the first Lesson; but they may be given apart from Mass, on Sundays or doubles, in the morning. The lectorate involves no obligation of celibacy or of any other kind. The Byzantine Office will be found in the "Euchologion" (Euchologion to mega, Venetian 8th edition, 1898, pp. 186-87). The Armenians (Gregorian and Uniate) have adopted the Roman system of four minor orders exactly. Their rite of ordaining a reader also consists essentially in handing to him the book of the Epistles.
When lectors, readers, and proclaimers of the Word need the most trusted, accurate, and user-friendly tool to help them prepare for the Sunday readings, they rely on Workbook. For over 30 years, Workbook has provided confidence to lectors and readers, giving them vital tools to feel prepared in their ministry as proclaimers of the Word.
Proclaiming the Word of God is a vital ministry in the Church. Workbook provides the needed context, ease-of-use, and guidance that those who read at Mass need in order to proclaim with confidence and clarity. When lectors, readers, and proclaimers of the Word read confidently and with conviction, the Word of God enlivens the parish community and the lives of its members.
For no particular reason except that it has been on my mind, this goes out to lectors everywhere who have been given the wrong instruction manual on proclaiming scripture in worship. I am here to correct any misconceptions you may have about the task. You may thank me later.
But first, let me establish my bona fides. In the past I have taught college speech, many times. Along with requiring from students the usual sorts of speeches conforming to the usual sorts of categories, I always included sections on poetry recitations (they usually hated that) and public reading in front of a group, say, at church. Public reading is an art form, I believe. At least I taught it that way.
