Our Friend reads the Liturgy at Pope Benedict XVI's installation
For those in Atlanta, there's a good article in the AJC (page 6) on Joe's brother who was a lector at the Pope's installation mass. He was also interviewed on NBC television last night.
For non-Catholics, at every mass typically three Biblical readings are done by lectors. An Old Testament reading (between Easter and Pentecost this first reading is normally from the Acts of the Apostles), a New Testament (non-Gospel) reading, and a Gospel reading. Justin was selected to be a lector for Pope Benedict XVI's inaugural mass, which is a pretty big honor.
Justin is in Rome at the North American College studying for the priesthood. He's an amazing man and it looks like God has something special in store for him . . . please pray for him and for all of the seminarians.
God bless,
Jay
