Before I Proclaim the Gospel at Mass, I Would...

 ...pause and take a moment to remember the connection of this moment of the Gospel with Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles through the Bishop laying his hands on my head.  The same Jesus that walked the earth is the same Jesus we hear proclaimed.

And then I chant, "The Lord be with you."

And God's holy people reply, "And with your spirit."
