Liturgical Hints & Ideas

During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy. The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them new) for the celebration of the Mass. The first section below is a direct quote from the English translation of the document. The second section is a commentary on the passage.

Duties and Ministries in the Mass (GIRM #99)

The lector is instituted to proclaim the readings from Sacred Scripture, with the exception of the Gospel. He may also announce the intentions for the Universal Prayer and, in the absence of the psalmist, recite the psalm between the readings. In the celebration of the Eucharist, the lector has his own proper function, which he himself must carry out.

Commentary: There is an official ministry in the Roman Rite called "Lector." This ministry is conferred on deacon candidates and seminarians by a bishop as a step in their formation process toward premanent diaconate or priesthood. These are in actuality the "Lectors" referred to in the liturgical rubrics. Since every parish does not have the benefit of one or more seminarians to read at Mass, by exception the Church allows other people (men and women) who are not these officially instituted Lectors to read the Scripture other than the Gospel, in their stead. In the absence of a deacon and cantor the Reader may also assist with the Universal Prayer [formerly called Prayer of the Faithful or General Intercessions] and the Responsorial Psalm.

Since Lector is the title of the officially-instituted minister, those men and women in the parish who assist with the First Reading and the Second Reading should properly be known as "Readers," as they are called in the Roman Missal. The parish Readers should defer to any instituted Lectors present (for example, seminarians home for break or permanent deacon candidates in the parish), allowing them to read at Mass. These men have been instituted for this ministry — they are the ordinary ministers of Scripture; laity from the parish should always allow them to exercise this ministry, regardless of the "liturgy schedule." Humility and obedience are called for.
