The Layman's Missal: Sundays, Principal Feasts and Liturgy of the Sacraments

This new edition of The Layman's Missal is reprinted in response to Pope Benedict XVI's recent motu proprio, authorizing and encouraging the use of The Tridentine Rite, also known as the Latin Mass.
There is currently a liturgical ferment and renewal in the Roman Catholic Church, encouraged and directed by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. At the time of the Second Vatican Council a new order of Mass was approved (the New Rite, or Novus Ordo) which was regularly to be said in English only, with a Latin version for occasional use. Now two important developments have taken place. Before long both a new Roman Missal and a new Lectionary will be published and The Holy Father has also encouraged and authorized the widespread usage of the Old Rite― also known as The Tridentine Rite or the Latin Mass.
Accordingly, this new publication is of the Missal in its 1962 edition, which was authorized by Pope John XXIII before the start of The Second Vatican Council. It is therefore the last authorized version of the Tridentine rite. This new edition of The Layman's Missal does, however, include one change ― the version of the Prayer for the Jews which has been amended by Pope Benedict XVI and is now promulgated for use.
