Document Title: "Lay Person Reading the Gospel
Question from on 04-17-2007:
I just read on this site where a lay person should NEVER read the Gospel at Mass. At our local Catholic nursing the presiding priest is legally blind and says Mass by heart with a lay person reading the Gospel. Is that permitted?
We now have a new priest and I read once after Father had cateract surgery.
Thank You and God Bless!

These are obviously very different circumstances. I don't see a problem with this, after all, one is not bound to do the impossible.
Other than such circumstances, a lay person should never read the gospel at Mass."
