As one accepts a role of ministry for liturgy as a right and duty, they must understand the privilege and responsibility attached to their ministry. The role is to be fulfilled with all due reverence and dignity warranted in serving Christ. When embracing a role for liturgy, one embraces the commitment to dependability, time for preparation, and time for ongoing development and enrichment. These guidelines have been put together, as outlined in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and Sacrosanctum Concilium: Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy - to help in reflecting one's role as a liturgical minister.
