Editing Lectionary (section)

====Other lectionary information====

In some churches, the lectionary is carried in the entrance procession by a [[lector]]. In the Catholic Church, the [[Book of the Gospels]] is carried in by a [[deacon]] (when there is no deacon, a lector might process in with the Book of the Gospels). When the Book of the Gospels is used, the first two readings are read from the lectionary, while the Book of the Gospels is used for the final reading.

The lectionary is not to be confused with a [[missal]], [[gradual]] or [[sacramentary]]. While the lectionary contains scripture readings, the missal or sacramentary contains the appropriate prayers for the service, and the gradual contains [[Gregorian chant|chants]] for use on any particular day. In particular, the gradual contains a [[responsory]] which may be used in place of the responsorial psalm.
