1962 Missal

[christosdavid]

I was given a St. Andrews '62 missal yesterday by my mother. great for latin study, particularly as it has a parallel English with it. v.happy

Now would be a good time to put that Missal to use and attend a TLM. Perhaps at an FSSP parish.

What’s the best place to buy the right missal for the modern EF Mass? Are there different versions, etc.? I’d like to have one myself as I’ve been attending these services lately.

Ha ha. God is good.

There is nothing you can do about it.

That’s all she wrote.

This probably isn’t all that helpful, but do an online search. There are several current editions available. The two that are most often seen are the Baronius Press edition and the Angelus Press edition. The content vis-a-vis the Mass texts will be the same, but I imagine each has a variety of additional content. Some folks prefer one, some prefer the other. I guess it’s a matter of taste and, perhaps, cost. If one doesn’t mind shopping online, one might find a better deal that way than in a local bookstore. Except, perhaps, for a used bookstore: they sometimes have such things.

EDIT: The St Andrew’s might well be the best, but it was last published in 1945 (I think) and all subsequent editions are reprints of that. The only caveat is with the Holy Week services, which were “revised” in 1955 and of course the St Andrew’s has the “old” rites. Beyond that, another difference with the St Andrew’s is that it uses the “old” classification of feasts. Most people would hardly notice.

I hope this helps. You can also check ebay for used missals. The St. Joseph Daily Missal, which is what I use, has Latin and English, but the readings are in English only.

The modern EF Mass uses the 1962 missal. Any missal will work from between 1956 and 1963 as only a few words changed. Prior to 1956 Holy Week was substantially different, therefor if you purchase a missal 1955 or prior you will not be able to follow during Holy Week.

I have the Angelus Press version and love it!

Well here is my prophecy, for free:

The anti-traditionalist christosdavid is going to have “traditionalist” on his profile within 3 months.


By the way, beer is yucky.

I have tried a lot of the Missals out there for the EF Mass. If I was only going to be going on Sundays, the one I’d find myself grabbing the most (by far) was my Stedman’s missal. It fits nicely in your pocket, has beautiful prayers in the back for after communion, and it does not cost a ton.

If you’re going to a daily EF Mass or want to pray daily readings then I would have used the Baronius Press Missal. My only beef with the Baronius Press missal is the sensory overload of explanations in the margins. A little too much for me to meditate with. If you wanted something simpler, then I’d go for the St. Joseph’s Daily Missal.

One thing that the OF did do is to provide a wider exposure to the scriptures for daily Mass-goers. I personally think they should have left the Sunday readings on the same one year cycle, but I’m not the one they pay the big bucks to make those types of decisions.

I think the big bucks are made off the royalty fees on the translations.

I have a variety of TLM missals and my favorite is the Father Lasance New Roman Missal but it’s out of print. My second favorite is the Angelus Press daily missal. My least favorite is the St Andrew. There are also some prayer books that include the mass, like Blessed Be God. That one is my favorite pocket sized one.

It is not exactly a missal but i recently inherited a book called the “Manual of the Crucifixion (A Guide to Catholic Devotion)”.

It was published by Excelsior Catholic Publishing House (NY) in 1904 “with the approbation of the Most Rev. John McCloskey, D.D., Archbishop of New York”

There is no latin in it but there are portions of the Mass and they are word for word the same as the “new” translation that is coming this year. I guess it is a pretty straight translation from the Latin since this book is from a bit before Vatican II.

Greetings Christosdavid,

Congratulations and God bless your mother- that is probably one of the finest gifts you’ll ever get!

Personally, I use the New Marian Missal by Juergens, c. 1958; when I came to the Tridentine Rite 17 years ago; I had started out with a Fr. Lasance Missal- which was very good- but it was an original issue and fell apart.

My priest put me onto the Juergens edition and I like it a lot- plus it is still in print- thanks to Loreto and IMS.

Rest easy though, my friend- because I have heard great things about the St. Andrew’s edition as well- so you have a good Missal there- enjoy it!

Oremus pro invicem,

I personally always look for pre-1962 missals, because the 1962 missal contains the addition of St Joseph to the Canon (a change made by John XXIII). Normally I’d have no problem at all with St Joseph being added, except that the Canon is the most unchangeable part of the Mass by Church law and tradition.

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 1962 Missal! All mine are from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Good for you, I hope you can find a church that still celebrates an ancient Latin mass.

I have my mothers ‘the Catholic Sunday Missal’ from the '30’s. The Latin and English is side by side so it’s real easy to follow…which I do every Sunday. Today is the 7th Sunday after Pentecost in the old ancient right and we feel blessed to have the opportunity to partake in this.

As an old school altar boy I was only required to know the Latin responses, now I take great pleasure in savoring this thoughtful, aged, beautifully composed mass I grew up with.

…“I will go the altar of God. To God who giveith joy to my youth.”

 

[ProVobis]

…“I will go the altar of God. To God who giveith joy to my youth.”

Yes, but how is this better understood in (this type of) English? Seems like a lot is lost in translation here.

 

[Carolus_Martell]

Yes, but how is this better understood in (this type of) English? Seems like a lot is lost in translation here.

…because I don’t understand Latin and appreciate reading the English translation.

I don’t know what it is about these ancient rite topics that bring out the Dana Carvey ‘church lady’ SNL caricature’s with their obtuse and inappropriate comments. But keep it up because like Dana Carvey you amuse many of us.

The next time you sit down to pass water…think about that.

 

[ProVobis]

…because I don’t understand Latin and appreciate reading the English translation.

I don’t think you get my point. Why do you go to a Latin Mass if you’re enamored only with that one particular translation of it?

What if “the God that makes me happy” or “to God, my joy and my delight” or “to God, the source of all my joy” or “to God, my highest joy” or “to God, the joy of my rejoicing” might be shown to be a more understandable translation?

Or if you want something more literal,

“to God who {cheers, fertilizes, gladdens} my {youthful rigor, youngness, time of youth)”

When one goes to an Italian opera, does he really go (or plays the record) over and over again because he only likes a given translation of it in his English guide? Can’t one appreciate the words for what they are and not what he wants them to be?

That said, I probably shouldn’t have butted in here. If you like your Missal, then by all means use it, whether it’s in Japanese or French. I’m done with this thread.

But “who gives joy to my youth” is only an educated
