Gospel
Mt 15:21-28
At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out,
“Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David!
My daughter is tormented by a demon.”
But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her.
Jesus’ disciples came and asked him,
“Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.”
He said in reply,
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel......

Rom 11:13-15, 29-32
Brothers and sisters:
I am speaking to you Gentiles.
Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,
I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous
and thus save some of them.
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world,
what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
Just as you once disobeyed God
but have now received mercy becaus.....

Is 56:1, 6-7
Thus says the LORD:
Observe what is right, do what is just;
for my salvation is about to come,
my justice, about to be revealed.
The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD,
ministering to him,
loving the name of the LORD,
and becoming his servants—
all who keep the sabbath free from profanation
and hold to my covenant,
them I will bring to my holy mountain
and make joyful in my house of prayer;
their b.....

Gospel
Mt 14:22-33
After he had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into a boat
and precede him to the other side,
while he dismissed the crowds.
After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray.
When it was evening he was there alone.
Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore,
was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it.
During the fourth watch of the night,
he came toward them walking on the sea......

Rom 9:1-5
Brothers and sisters:
I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie;
my conscience joins with the Holy Spirit in bearing me witness
that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart.
For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ
for the sake of my own people,
my kindred according to the flesh.
They are Israelites;
theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants,
the giving of the law, the worship, and.....

1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-13a
At the mountain of God, Horeb,
Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter.
Then the LORD said to him,
“Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD;
the LORD will be passing by.”
A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains
and crushing rocks before the LORD—
but the LORD was not in the wind.
After the wind there was an earthquake—
but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
After the earthqu.....

"Butterflies" by denisecthompson on April 29, 2007, 9:12 am, in category Proclaiming Tips

Butterflies - Every lector gets a little nervous before proclaiming, no matter how experienced or how prepared he or she may be. Those butterflies are a good thing, however, because they are the source of your energy! But you can at least contain them by taking a few slow deep breaths before mass and while in your seat. Just inhale deeply, then slowly exhale to the count of ten. Above all, pray to the Holy Spirit. He is always with you and will not desert you.&nb.....

"Eye Contact Tip" by denisecthompson on April 29, 2007, 9:02 am, in category Proclaiming Tips

Eye Contact Tip - When you first get to the ambo, plant yourself with elegance and confidence behind the ambo and take a few seconds to look directly at the assembly with a friendly face. Be sure to embrace the right and left sides of the worship space as well as the center. By doing this, you invite your listeners to come on a journey and if you do not LOOK at them, they may not come along with you. Then while still looking them in the eye, proclaim the announcement line with joy and conviction.....

Celtic Prayer
Blessing for a Journey
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May you be held in the palm of God’s hand.
Old Irish Verse
