Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a reflection on the role of the liturgical commentator in the ministry of word, comprising the issues related to the participation of lay persons in the ministry of the word and their auxiliary role in the ministry of word (1), to the homily and the introductory comment before the readings (2), and to the biblical formation of commentators (3). An auxiliary role of liturgical commentator who prepares the commentary to be read before the biblical readings in contrast to the homilist who delivers a homily which is a proclamation of the mystery of Christ was shown. The attention was paid to the kerygma, which should be signalled in the commentary and proclaimed during the homily. Lectio divina was proposed as the method of biblical formation which would prepare the commentators to the interpretation of the word of God for the liturgical purposes.
