Review
THE DAILY ROMAN MISSAL edited by Father James Socias is a well organized informative Missal. The Missal is well made, and the editor(s)and publishers produced a Missal that is well bound and has legible print for easy reading.This Missal is useful for devout, older Catholics. The Missal has devotions for the Mass and for private use. The editor(s)gave clearly written explanations to novices on how to use the Missal with a "code" on abbreviations that are used in the text. The Missal contains a listing of the biblical readings for the liturgical years (cycles A, B,and C).For traditional Catholics who appreciate the Tridentine Mass, this Missal was published for them. The texts are in Latin and English. The translations, as far as this reviewer knows, are accurate. The division of the Missal into the liturgical seasons such as Advent, Lent, the Triduum, Easter Season, and Ordinary Time is concisely explained and helps enhance an understanding of Catholic Liturgial Calendar.The guides for the Order of the Roman Canon of the Mass and the Eucharist Prayers make this Missal easy to use if one attends a Tridentine Mass which is still celebrated especially in urban areas. There are guides for the Sacrament of Confession which can be used for traditional Catholics and those who are used to the Mass since Vatican II.The Missal has a more recent Proper of the Saints which surprised the undersigned. The addition of saints since the Pontificate of Pope John Paul II is astounding and may be already badly out of date. The rituals for Common Masses and Ritual Masses are clearly explained. The categories of Votive Masses and Requiem Masses are explained and gives precice instructions on the reasoning of these Masses.The section re devotions and private/family prayers is surprisingly comprehensive. For those who may consider classes to be received into the Catholic Church, the section on prayers and devotions is a valuable aid. Those who want a continuous prayer life will find this section useful and almost exhaustive.The Missal has appendices for optional readings that can be used to find what may be difficult elsewhere. This Missal has sections that can help those who follow the Catechism. The illustrations in this Missal are visual aids that may make the text more instructive.This DAILY MISSAL can be used for those who prefer the Tridentine Mass as well as the Mass since Vatican II. The text and explanations clarify what may not be clear to Catholics who want to know more about the Faith as well those not familiar with Catholicism. This writer recommends this edition of THE DAILY ROMAN MISSAL.James E. EgolfJune 12, 2011
