4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent missal, August 18, 2000

By A Customer

This is a great missal by all accounts. There are just a few things one should know about it, though: The scripture readings are taken from the Jerusalem Bible, currently one of the three versions authorized for liturgical use. However, if I am not mistaken, once the New American Bible has been revised and approved by the Vatican, it will become the sole translation permitted for liturgical use. As it stands already, most parishes seem to use the NAB. So the differences in the two versions could make following along a little more difficult. But what is really great about this missal is that it includes the entire order of Mass in both English and Latin. That includes all prefaces, prayers, Eucharistic prayers, etc. Even the response for the responsorial psalm and the antiphons are given in Latin and English. All of which makes this the ideal missal for those who attend all-Latin masses: you can follow the readings and be able to participate when the rubrics call for it. Also potentially useful for those who attend Mass in a foreign language of which they do not have mastery. In the appendices are prayers, an index of readings, and additional eucharistic prayers. In the front are found various liturgical tables, charts, calendars for feast days and readings. Complete with the commons and propers for memorials, feast, solemnities and special occasions. Over all, this is a splendid missal, well worth its price, even if it is used just to keep up with the week's readings at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Convenience and Fidelity, April 18, 2003

By	Oswald Sobrino "CatholicAnalysis.blogspot.com" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After being frustrated by hard-to-use missals, I find using the Daily Roman Missal a wonderful experience. As I understand it, a new edition is now available from the publisher that is even easier to use that this particular edition because all readings for a particular day are printed in one place without the need to follow a cross reference to another page. In whatever edition you use, the value of this missal is that it contains all readings for all days in one volume, as opposed to multi-volume missals with one volume for Sundays and another for weekdays. Even better, the missal includes some Latin texts for each day that are sometimes clearly superior to their English translations for those who can make out the Latin. This missal is traditional and devotional in the best sense. The high quality should not be surprising since the editor is associated with Opus Dei (Midwest Theological Forum). As other reviews on this site indicate, the older 4th ed. from 1998 uses the translations of the Jerusalem Bible which do not match those used in the readings at an actual Mass, which use the New American Bible. But for home use the older edition is quite satisfactory. For those seeking an edition to match the Scriptures read at Mass, it is better to purchase the newer version that uses the Revised New American Bible translation. (Note: the newer version is not the one displayed on this site.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best orthodox translation of scripture for Mass, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

highly preferred over other missals. Daily Roman Missal is taken from Jerusalem Bible translation, NOT the New jerusalem Bible; is not inclusive language gender; this missal won't be around much longer as the new inclusive missals reach the market this year. This one will be treasured.
