- Abstract
- With the motu proprio Spiritus Domini of 20 Jan. 2021, Pope Francis removed the clause reserving the instituted ministries of lector and acolyte for men. In order to understand this decision, which has been awaited for several years, the A.’s present the reform of the minor orders in the 1960s towards the creation of lay ministries. They then detail the opportunity offered by this decision of the Pope to renew and expand the service of the Word of God in many activities beyond the Sunday celebration. In the same way, a ritual institution at the service of the Eucharist of a few men and women could enrich the prayer of communities and groups. The Covid-19 pandemic has manifested the lack of responsibility of the laity in the area of spiritual life in the community. The ministries of acolyte and lector could thus contribute to local ecclesial renewal.
