The Sacred Page has this to say:
In a very real sense, as we participate in Mass this weekend, the Scriptures are “fulfilled in our hearing.” The same Jesus who fulfills all the prophecies comes to us and is truly present to us in the Eucharist, the Word made Flesh, and in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
You should read Aperuit Illis today.
We also find in today's first reading from the Book of Ezra-Nehemiah the origins of the Ambo:
Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform
that had been made for the occasion.
He opened the scroll
so that all the people might see it
— for he was standing higher up than any of the people —
and, as he opened it, all the people rose.
