4.0 out of 5 stars Attractive and Useful, November 20, 2005

This review is from: New Saint Joseph Sunday Missal [With Zipper] (Leather Bound)

The Saint Joesph Sunday Missal is a compact and attractive product. In addition to the contents of each Sunday Mass, it comes with a few useful extras. It is printed in two colors with large text for responses to encourage and ease active participation. A calendar leads the reader to the prayers and readings for each day, at least until 2014. Full-color icons are printed throughout and full-color inserts of the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and the Stations of the Cross are included. The readings for each day are printed in full and illustrated with small black-and-white icons highlighting the day's themes. In addition, brief commentaries by Rev. John C. Kersten on each Sunday and each reading are included, as are an overview of the Catechism and a treasury of prayers.

There is little to criticize, though the Catechism overview is too brief to be especially useful. The Stations and Mysteries are printed twice, once in full color and once in two-tone, which is unnecessary.

At first a little confusing to navigate, the missal is nonetheless excellent.

I love the Sunday Missal. It's very easy to read and allowes me to read the lesson before Sunday. It's just the right size to carry in some of my purses and take to Mass to follow along with the readings. The zipper keeps it from getting soiled. I would highly recommend it if you like to follow the Sunday Mass.

5.0 out of 5 stars A necessity for a new Catholic., April 25, 2008

I recently became a Catholic and started attending Mass. The Missal provides an outline of the service as well as instructions on standing, kneeling, and sitting. For those coming back to the faith, this book will be a great help. The pages have gold, zipped up in a nice leather cover. If you need a missal, purchase this one.
