Liturgical readers need a reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use tool to help them prepare their proclamation of the Word to the assembly of the People of God; that instrument is the Manual para proclamadores de la palabra. For more than twenty years now, the Manual for Proclaimers has provided them with technical, spiritual, and cultural elements that have nourished their Christian formation and ministerial growth.

The book contains:

  • The complete text of the biblical readings duly approved for the liturgy in the United States, and of the responsorial psalm to encourage their meditation
  • Texts arranged in lines of meaning and with relevant words in bold to indicate reading strategies
  • Tips or guidelines to support the proclamation, with notes on rhythm and tone
  • Commentaries on each of the readings prepared by scholars of the Sacred Scripture, to enrich the historical, theological, and liturgical context
  • Continuing formation when used as an instrument of study and weekly meditation.

    • The proclamation of God's Word is a vital ministry in the Church. Practical and easy to use, the Handbook provides the context and guidance needed by those who set up the Table of the Word at Mass to proclaim with confidence and clarity. When readers, preachers, and proclaimers of the Word read with confidence and conviction, God's Word animates the parish community and the lives of its members.

    Available as en ebook on Amazon, Google Books, and Apple Books.

    “Preparing with Workbook has not only helped me clearly convey the messages of our liturgical celebrations to our congregation, but it has also helped deepen my own understanding of God’s Word. I am so grateful for the ability to proclaim my assigned readings with so much meaning to my fellow parishioners, thanks to this wonderful resource.”

    “This book is a useful tool when preparing to proclaim God’s Word in the parish. The margin notes detail the tone in which the reading should be delivered, including words to emphasize and, in some instances, when to slow the reading pace to best deliver the message. The commentary summarizes the context behind the reading to help readers better understand what they are proclaiming. I’m grateful our parish provides this resource for us to use in preparing for our ministry.”
