Inferior ministers such as lector and acolyte should echo and reinforce the priest. There is no good reason to obscure the Christ-like sign value of his maleness. Lector, acolyte, etc have always been part of the minor orders that were steps to ordination. Priests and deacons can only be men because they are conformed to Christ the Bridegroom. To feminize these ministries is monstrous because it amounts to trans-sexualism: women being invited to adopt behaviors that are intrinsically male.
As for your service as lector, I hope you will reconsider. Even Francis has spoken about what a bad idea it is to clericalize the laity. As for your reading, please keep in mind that Mass is not Bible study, notwithstanding continuing efforts to protestantize the liturgy. We do not go to Mass to get instruction or edification, except in a subsidiary, accidental way. What comes first is what we GIVE. Scripture is proclaimed as part of the Holy Sacrifice, which consists first of the Inspired Word, and second, the Incarnate Word (in the Sacrament).
I guess I don’t mind the Liturgy of the Word as currently done. Since it’s the only Scripture many people get, having a “Bible Study” bent to it seems helpful to the congregation. The more I look at the Bible, the more I home in on the parts of the Liturgy of the Eucharist that are verbatim from Scripture. I am more aware and more attentive.
I had my chance years ago to become educated in liturgy, through music. I am not called to take an impassioned stand, as far as I can tell, in support of the Latin Mass or fine points of liturgical improvement. Although I certainly have attended Latin Masses and Eastern Rite masses, they do not tug at my soul like some people. But if you want to pray for greater spiritual maturity and faithfulness on my part, that is very fine by me.
