-Signs and Symbols

The Book of the Gospels - “In a special way, care must be taken that the liturgical books, particularly the Book of the Gospels and the Lectionary, which are intended for the proclamation of the word of God and hence enjoy special veneration, really serve in a liturgical action as signs and symbols of heavenly realities and hence are truly worthy, dignified, and beautiful.” “It is a praiseworthy practice that the Book of the Gospels be placed upon the altar.”
