If you go to the traditional Mass (or are thinking about it), then this little leaflet missal is for you. It has all you need to follow the beautiful Tridentine Mass. But, it has much more than just the words of the Mass in Latin and English; it has some of the most beautiful prayers for before and after Mass, including the well-known prayers of St. Ambrose and St. Thomas Aquinas.

The missal also has instructions for confession, short meditations on the mysteries of the Rosary, and music for the Mass of the Angels. Not to mention beautiful artwork on the cover and throughout the missal.

Even if you've never been to a traditional Mass, you will probably find this little missal most helpful. In the margins there are brief explanations of the meaning of each prayer or its origins. If you've never been to a traditional Mass, this little Missal just might convince you to go.

Houstonians: This is a slightly larger version of the same missal handed out for the Tridentine Masses at Annunciation Catholic Church in Houston, TX.

I've heard it's commonly in use elsewhere around the country as well.

It's very nice to have my own copy for studying at home. I highly recommend anyone considering buying a copy to do so.

This is an excellent booklet for following the traditional Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in latin. It also contains many prayers and an Examine of Conscience. It even has the music for the Mass of the Angels (Missa de Angelis). If you don't have a Missal, this is what you should use.

As one acquaintance put it, this thin booklet is a "little catechism" with rich and clear commentary on the parts of the Mass that will also enlighten those who attend only the Novus Ordo Mass. There is also an excellent page at the end with various lists for aiding in an examination of conscience prior to confession. Prayers for before and after Mass, other traditional prayers, and the rite of Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament are also included. As I said, even if you never attend a Tridentine Mass, you will gain from reading this missal. It will deepen your participation in the Mass of Vatican II. An updated March, 2004 version is now available at the ecclesiadei.org website.

Use it every Sunday at my Latin Mass in Altanta. Traditional Latin Mass Parish, with our Priest from the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. Dominus Vobiscum.
