“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters: in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.”   Psalm 22:23
 
Proclaimers of the Word, otherwise known as Lectors or Readers, function partially as the subdeacon did previously.  Lectors are assigned to read the word of God in the liturgical assembly.  Accordingly, he/she reads the lesson from Sacred Scripture, except the Gospel, in the Mass and in other sacred celebrations; recites the psalms between the readings in the absence of the psalmist, and presents the intentions for general intercessions when the deacon or cantor is absent.  If necessary, he/she also assumes the responsibility of instructing any of the faithful called upon to read the Scriptures in any liturgical celebration.
