Hello,

Why does the Priest kiss the gospel after the gospel reading?
 
Hi,

The priest kisses the Book of Gospels for the same reason that the congregation stands during Mass while the Gospel is being read: to show respect to the Good News of Jesus Christ, which the Gospel is.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
