Missal recommendations

[Paul S]

Could anyone recommend a good missal for the new Mass, with both Sunday and daily readings? I have the two-volume St. Joseph's daily Missal, but I was wondering if there's a better one (it's for a gift). One with devotions in it, too, would be nice.

I use the cheap $2.00 annual St. Joseph's (Sunday only) I am a new catholic (in RCIA), but I am not sure I'd want a big, fancy one. This one is cheap, I throw it in my back pocket and if it gets messed up... well... it was 2 bucks and it will be replaced in 1 year!

I'd be curious to see/hear of a nice one, though. Amazon has a ton. Browse if you will

This is the one I have:

It's a bit pricey but it has everything I could ask for.
I especially like the "How to be a good Catholic" section. Tons of devotions. Up to date with all the new saints, includes the Luminous Mysteries for the Rosary. By far the most complete Missal available. Enjoy!

I use The Weekday Missal, published by Collins

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0005997259/qid=1102599624/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-4269079-9393436

and The Sunday Missal, also published by collins

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0005997917/qid=1102599745/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_1_2/202-4269079-9393436

both are an invaluable aid in being united to the Church through the daily Mass readings and prayer offerings, especially on the occassions of not being able to attend Mass.

God Bless.

Are the readings from the NAB?

 

[Metanoia02]

Yes, it should be word for word what you hear at Mass. I think that is the intent.

Metanoia02,

Is the Missal for a year only? Or for the rest of your life? How do you use a Missal? Over here, we have little disposable missalettes, either for Sundays only or for the liturgical year.

The daily Roman Missal has all the readings for each Sunday Mass for all three years A, B, and C. So yes it will last as long as they don't change the readings in the liturgical years. The Daily Readings are also included. They do not change from year to year, so you are good to go there as well. It includes all of the Antiphons, Eucharistic prayers.

For instance, yesterday was the feast if the Immaculate Conception. The Roman Missal also has all the readings for the feast days and Holy Day as well. There is a special Preface just for this day, it's in there.

Basically every word you hear at Mass, besides the Homily and the prayers of the faithful, are in this book.

How do I use it? Well I follow along wth the different parts of the Mass. It has 6 ribbons so you can mark the different places inthe Mass. I also pray the suggested prayers before and after Mass. It is great for me, because I find that I am easily distracted during Mass and this helps me focus.

I agree! I absolutely love my copy. It is well worth the price.

If I wasn't a poor college student maybe I'd buy one.

we use the weekeday and the sunday missals put out by Daughters of St. Paul -- at their Pauline Book Store.

 

[Paul S]

Thanks for the recommendations. I decided to go with the Daily Roman Missal Metanoia suggested. It looks really nice. It even has the Ordinary in Latin, which is always good.

How about a subscription to Magnificat?? http://www.magnificat.net/It is an awesome gift! I love the reflections and all of the additional explanations and info about the saints...plus they smell good. (Okay so we're a really nerdy book family- but what do ya' expect we met working at a bookstore!)
