Catholic AnswerThe Lectionary contains all the readings for Mass.
Every day of the week! At every Mass readings from the Epistles and Gospels is read.
It is a reading from one of the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.
In a Catholic Mass, the Book of the Gospels is typically carried by the deacon. If a deacon is not present, a priest may carry it. The Book is usually processed during the entrance and placed on the altar, symbolizing the importance of the Gospel in the liturgy. The act signifies reverence for the Word of God as it is central to the celebration of the Mass.
The Gospels are important to the church today because they are read in mass to spread the word and they are read by all churches to explain the wonders and relationship with Jesus Christ. The Gospel is what allows the churches to continue mass and every Sunday a part of one of the gospels is read out, so that people understand and do the right thing. Every gospel has a meaning to the wonders of life.
During Mass, the Gospels are honored through several reverent actions. The Gospel reading is introduced with a proclamation that emphasizes its significance, and the congregation stands in respect. The priest or deacon processes with the Gospel book, often accompanied by incense and a candle, symbolizing the light of Christ. After the reading, the faithful respond with "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ," acknowledging the importance of the Gospel message.
