5.0 out of 5 stars Bring this book with you to mass, May 3, 2003

This review is from: The New Saint Joseph Sunday Missal, Complete Edition (Red Vinyl) (Vinyl Bound)

My church bought new missals and I was lost because the new books don't have the full readings in it. The book has every mass word-for-word. I am a Catholic...I don't know for sure if it is for all religions, but it is exactly the Catholic mass.

It also has an intro for each week so you know beforehand what mass is about. It also has a little background for each reading so you can make sense of what they are really trying to say. It does not have the songs.

The church rotates the mass every year, so there are four sections to the book. All you have to do is look up in the front of the book what year/date you are currently in and find that page to go from there. I never leave this book behind on Sundays. I'm in my 20s and it's very easy to read and follow along.

If you are looking for the right Missal to use at Mass or at home, this is it. Unlike other Missals that require cranes to lift and carry around, this is the perfect size and very handy to take to Church. In reference to a previous review, this new copy which I received today, was clearly printed and none of the pages were stuck together. I highly recommend it. (Also check out the St. Joseph versions of the Weekday Missals in two volumes.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable spiritually, though quality could be better, June 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Saint Joseph Sunday Missal, Complete Edition (Red Vinyl) (Vinyl Bound)

There are some practical reasons why I bought the Sunday Missal. For one, the accoustics in my church are very live and all readers, the priest, etc. cannot be understood. Secondly, my church does not provide missals. The best help my church provides is the readings in the back of the hymnal. Without the Sunday Missal, I'm clueless.

Spiritually, the Sunday Missal explains the Mass in many ways, including the themes for particular Sundays. It is also nice to be able to prepare for Mass by reading the readings ahead of time.

The quality of the book, itself, is lacking. The print is very light, as though the printer was low on ink. Also, many of the pages are stuck together--almost half. If I were conducting quality control for Catholic Book Publishing, I would never have let this particular volume pass inspection.
