| Regarding Scripure text | JaniRose | Tuesday, March 15, 2005 |
Question: The reading for Sunday March 6 was 1 Samuel 16:1b,6-7,10-13a. What do the letters stand for when we see this? Thank you. |

| Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Janirose, This simply means that only part of the actual scripture verse is included in the reading. "B" would mean the second part, "a" the first part, etc. Mr. Slavek Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers. (b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks. (c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively. |
