Roman Missal

Just what was needed

Beautifully produced, clearly printed and color highlights, easily opened and well tabbed, very easy to use and find required pages.

No European saints and US spelling of course

Although the smaller "Chapel" edition, it is very readable with large clear type. Also very usable with sufficient ribbons and sturdy tabs where needed.

This Roman Missal is very well done and very nice. It's exactly what we need to celebrate the most holy sacrifice of the Mass.

Libri liturgici come presentati. Arrivati nei tempi e nei modi descritti. Il servizio di consegna internet è impreciso. Il fornitore è eccellente.

This book is the approved English translation of the 3rd edition of the Roman Missal, containing all of the prayers that a Catholic priest needs to say the mass in English. With the revised English translation of 2011, dozens of missals have been published by different companies in recent years, but the Catholic Book Publishing Company continues to provide the most affordable and practically usable edition of them all. This product happens to be the chapel edition, a smaller version of the large missal that CBPC publishes for use in parishes, and it's quite satisfying. There are certainly more beautiful and artsy missals from other publishers, but this one is the most affordable and best suited for practical use, being rough and ready in missionary fashion. It has ample color-coded ribbons and built-in tabs (also color-coded) to facilitate easy use by priests in addition to very readable black and red print. It lays flat. As an improvement on the old Sacramentary, it also features full-color artwork in a more classical style than the postmodern abstract illustrations of the previous edition, making it quite pleasant to read. Although pricier editions like the Magnificat and Liturgical Press missals may have nicer materials and fancier artwork, all of the missals published by other companies are inferior for practical use to this one. Many of those other missals have print that is hard to read, poor layout of liturgical texts, a lack of tabs or sufficient ribbons, and are so narrow or tightly bound that they refuse to sit flat on the altar or a missal stand. If you want practicality and usability, rather than an awkward book that looks good from the pews, this is the one to get for your priest or chapel. It is also probably the most commonly used missal publisher in U.S. parishes. Just remember to buy the larger edition (not the chapel edition I'm reviewing here) from the publisher if you want something for the main sanctuary in your parish.

It was bought for my personal use. Really useful and will advise all the parishes and chaplaincies to try it

Very beautiful detail and great condition..and even has the ceremony content for blessing a chalice and paten,...well worth it
