Our parish has had the same four people reading at the five weekly daily Masses for over a decade now. I was tasked with fining other lectors to supplement this small pool. And I did! I was hoping to find one or two more, but I found four more morning Mass lectors (Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri) and three more Wednesday evening Mass lectors. What a find! I had hoped for one or two, but I never though there was so much interest. When you open up the opportunities for lectors, those who really love our ministry step up and step into the role of daily Mass lector. And none of the new ones seem to be about either reading every other week (for mornings) or every four weeks (for Wednesdays).
I am surprised that other lectors seem to have the same "feeling" I do about being a lector. It isn't just something we do to help out, it is a ministry, a ministry of proclaiming God's Word to his People. It isn't just reading, it is being a conduit, a tool for God. And we just love doing what we are doing.
