For what reason don't catholics call the parts and refrains while perusing the Bible at Mass

Catholic Christianity

By Augustine Mario Nnaji, A youngster moved toward me and asked; how can it be that the Catholics don't specify the parts and stanzas when they read during Mass? He at that point proceeded; our Pastor revealed to us that it is on the grounds that Catholics don't need individuals to know the Bible and to know reality that is the reason they don't call the sections and refrains. Indeed, I went to him and grinned. At that point I said to him, assuming you know the appropriate response, for what reason do you ask me? In answer he said he was not persuaded by the appropriate response the Pastor gave him. 

I at that point said to him; let me initially right you of a certain something. Catholics don't peruse the Bible at Mass rather they declare the Bible at Mass. What's the significance here to peruse? To peruse is to look and grasp the significance of characters or images that are created, while to broadcast is to declare. What the Catholics do is to report the expression of God from the sacred texts. Each Catholic should have the Liturgical Calendar or the Missal that contains every one of the readings. Along these lines, each normal Catholic knows where the readings of March 17 2021 will come from not only readings of the day or the following. Accordingly, the catholic ought to have perused the readings at home prior to coming to Mass. 

At the point when we come for Mass, just the Lector and the Priest or Deacon is permitted to declare from the content. Each and every other individual is to tune in to the declaration not to peruse from his own content in light of the fact that at that point we are not doing practices. At that point we are declaring or reporting the expression of God and everybody should tune in. That is the reason after the Lector has completed the process of understanding the person closes THE WORD OF THE LORD and after a Priest or Deacon has wrap up announcing the gospel he finishes up with THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD. To make reference to the part and the stanzas is to entice individuals to open their content and thusly, we diminish ourselves to perusing the Bible as opposed to declaring it. 

What we do while declaring the Bible is the ceremony of the Word. Similarly as Ezra read in Nehemiah 8:2-9 and individuals tuned in and surprisingly sobbed, so all should tune in, that the WORD may sink into their souls. The word then should be broken by the minister through the lesson or lecture. This lecture has the personality of DOCERE (showing the audience), DELECTARE (charming the audience) and MOVERE (moving the audience), Just as it never really individuals of Israel in Nehemiah 8:9. It moves the audience to an activity of affection, at that point the word becomes tissue at the table of Eucharist (John 1:14). Also, the substance is devoured by the audience through the gathering of the Holy Eucharist. Here the audience turns into the LIVING WORD OF GOD. At that point I asked the youngster, do you get it? He got puzzled.
