The presence of the Book of the Gospels carried in procession helps emphasize God’s Word as present and visible to the assembled faithful. It also emphasizes the glory of the Word through the use of beautiful gold-stamped liturgical art: The cover art includes the picture of Jesus who is the Word made Flesh and that Jesus is the fulfillment of all of the Scriptures.
