Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Missal fills the long-standing need for a simple, straightforward presenta-tion of the official translation of the liturgy of the Mass approved for use in the United States. Compiled and edited by Kevin Orlin Johnson, author of the best-seller Why Do Catholics Do That?, the book includes all of the prayers of the Mass, including those that the priest says inaudibly as well as the guidelines for taking communion as well as all of the rubrics-the "stage directions" that govern the postures and gestures of both priest and people during the celebration of the liturgy, which are usually omitted from missals intended for the laity. It also clearly indicates those parts of the Mass at which the priest may use "these or similar words"-clarifying many departures from what Baby-Boomer cradle Catholics might expect as well as outlining the limits of liturgical improvisation for those approaching the Church for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Missal The Order of Mass in English, April 29, 2000
By 
"boneheaded" (Seattle Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missal: The Order of Mass in English (Paperback)
This book belongs in every Catholic household and is an excellent tool or companion to your yearly or monthly missal. It is a reference book that follows the mass as mass should be exectuted. Many parishes I have visited in the US seem to be straying from the traditional mass and this serves as the gold standard document to remind and teach the perfect mass. It is ideal for RCIA candidates, returning Catholics, and a teaching tool for CCD. It is relatively small and 'paperback'. It does not give explanation for how and why mass became what it is or the changes that were implemented throughout church history. Think of it as an outline of mass. If you want to learn the 'why' of mass go to 'The Incredible Catholic Mass' by Fr. Martin von Cochem.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's all here but . . ., July 30, 2006
This review is from: Missal: The Order of Mass in English (Paperback)
This pocket-sized missal contains four versions of the ordinary of the Mass all in English, but because responses are not highlighted by bold type it's difficult to find them. You might think you could go over it at home before attending Mass, but that doesn't work because the missal contains four versions of the Ordinary, each with it's own set of responses which, however slightly, do vary.
It would be a lot more useful if some of the less popular versions were removed entirely and all of the responses were in bold type. Another improvement would be better labeling of "Celebrant" and "Response"
