reading the Bible aloud - 2024 PACE NSC

Question

Note to moderator: read answerline carefully. Note to players: Description acceptable. Like the acolyte, this action’s performer was dubbed a ministry instead of a minor order by the apostolic letter Ministeria Quaedam (“KWAY-dohm”) after Vatican II. Years A, B, and C refer to Matthew, Mark, and Luke during this action’s three-year cycle. (20[1])The Responsorial (20[1])Psalm (20[1])is sung between two (20[1])instances of this (20[1])action. (20[4])During the Catholic Liturgy of the Word, a congregant performs this action after bowing before the altar and approaching the ambo, a type of elevated (*) pulpit. An Evangeliary is used for this action. It’s not the end of mass, but Catholics reply “Thanks be to God” after two instances of these actions, (10[1])three of which precede the homily. For 10 points, name this action performed during mass by lectors and a priest using the Book of the Gospels. (10[2]) (10[12])■END■
