Manual para proclamadores de la palabra® 2026

Liturgical readers need a reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use tool to help them prepare their proclamation of the Word to the assembly of the People of God; that instrument is the Manual para proclamadores de la palabra. For more than twenty years now, the Manual for Proclaimers has provided them with technical, spiritual, and cultural elements that have nourished their Christian formation and ministerial growth.

The book contains:

• The complete text of the biblical readings duly approved for the liturgy in the United States, and of the responsorial psalm to encourage their meditation
• Texts arranged in lines of meaning and with relevant words in bold to indicate reading strategies
• Tips or guidelines to support the proclamation, with notes on rhythm and tone
• Commentaries on each of the readings prepared by scholars of the Sacred Scripture, to enrich the historical, theological, and liturgical context
• Continuing formation when used as an instrument of study and weekly meditation.

The proclamation of God's Word is a vital ministry in the Church. Practical and easy to use, the Handbook provides the context and guidance needed by those who set up the Table of the Word at Mass to proclaim with confidence and clarity. When readers, preachers, and proclaimers of the Word read with confidence and conviction, God's Word animates the parish community and the lives of its members.
