Is there anything I need to know for my debut as a lector on 9/14 mass...I will be doing the 2 lesson, the psalm and the prayers of the people...to say I am nervous is an understatement...
If you think you are reading slow, you are still reading fast .
There is a bit of a time delay in most sound systems so its a good idea to almost over-articulate.
Observe the punctuation, its your guide for correct text flow and breathing. YES... YOU MUST BREATHE
Try to take some time to pray and medetate on the texts. Make them part of you so you can read with authenticity.
First and foremost... you are transmitting the word of God, and He's right up there with you!!!
Have fun, and good luck
