Liturgy Question & Answer

Blessing With the Book of the Gospels
Fr. Edward McNamara, LC

Q: Who can bless the congregation with the Book of the Gospels after the proclamation of the Gospel? Is it true that it can only be done by bishops? Sometimes I hear that the provincials of religious orders can also do it since they are considered as “bishops” for their order. Is this true? -- M.Z., Malta
