Choosing a Catholic Missal

 

Choosing a Catholic Missal

 
There seem to so many different Catholic missals available; which one is right for you? Not every missal is the same. What is the difference between a daily missal and a weekday missal? If you attend a Latin Mass, which type of Latin missal do you need? Why are some missals thicker than others? This guide will help you to understand the various Catholic missals available so you can select the right missal for you.
 

Tridentine / Pre-Vatican II Missals

 
(The Extraordinary form of the Mass is commonly called the Tridentine Rite, Gregorian Rite, The Old Mass, the 1962 Mass, or Pre-Vatican II Mass. Sometimes it will be called simply the “Latin Mass” but this leads to confusion; as the Novus Ordo Mass may also be said in Latin so the term Latin Mass is not explicit enough)
 
  • 1962 Roman Catholic Daily Missal – The complete Latin-English Tridentine missal, with readings. A daily missal that is used everyday, Sunday and the weekdays. Includes the 1962 updates, including the Holy Week liturgy.
 
  • Baronius Daily Missal available in Black, White, or Burgundy – Also a complete Latin-English Tridentine missal with readings. A daily missal that is used everyday, Sunday and the weekdays. Includes the 1962 updates, complete with the Holy Week liturgy.
 
  • Saint Joseph Daily 1953 Tridentine Missal – The Tridentine missal from 1953. It contains the ordinary of the Mass in both English and Latin but only has the English translation of the proper (changing) prayers of the Mass. It does not have the 1962 updates or the revised Holy Week Liturgy.

 

  • New Marian Missal – a daily missal, for use on both Sundays and weekdays. A reprint of the 1958 edition, it does not contain the 1962 updates.
 
  • Sacred Triduum Missal – Tridentine missal booklet for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday of Holy Week.
 
  • Latin-English Tridentine Booklet Missal – Contains all of the Ordinary texts side-by-side in Latin and English for the Sunday Tridentine Mass. Also included are prayers for before and after Mass, Benediction, Confession and the chant for the Missa de Angelis. Does not contain the readings.
 
 
 
 
 
  • Angelus Press Sunday Missal Booklet – Contains the Ordinary of the High and Low Mass in English and Latin. Also includes the Rite of Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
 

Novus Ordo /Post-Vatican II Missals

 
(Note: Several terms are used to refer to the current Ordinary form of the Mass. Most common are the terms ‘Novus Ordo’ (‘New Ordinary’ in Latin) and Post-Vatican II Liturgy or Mass. These terms are most common because they more clearly differentiate between the Ordinary and Extraordinary (Tridentine) forms. Also note that in the Novus Ordo, Sunday readings have a three-year cycle (A.B,C) while the weekday has a two-year (I,II) cycle)
