Books in the Liturgy - Book of the Gospels

Book of the Gospels – From the Greek Ευαγγέλιο, meaning good news. This book contains the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Book of Gospels is lifted high in the opening procession and right before the Gospel is proclaimed to both express and to deepen the reverence we give to God’s revelation in Christ, as recorded in these Gospels.
