I believe the answer is:

holy writ

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reading' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'the faithful worthily composed' is the wordplay.
'worthily' can be anagrammed to 'HOLY WRIT'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for holy writ that I've seen before include "Sacred writings" , "Good Book" , "The Bible, in other words" , "Sacred texts" , "Scriptures" .)
