I have My Prayer Book as well, an original one. Reprints are on the market. 15.00 to 20.00. I found mine on eBay. Actually, I’d suggest getting the reprint if someone wants one. The original ones tend to fall apart with use because of their age.
What is the difference between the 1945 edition and the 1962? Is it just the holy week propers and St. Joseph’s name in the canon? If so that shouldn’t be a problem as where I plan on attending mass will celebrate Holy week in the ordinary form. I currently have the reprint of Fr. Lasance’s The Young Man’s Guide and really love it, and therefore am looking into it.
BTW, how is Clear Creek doing? I read about it several years ago. Odd place maybe to set up a traditionalist Catholi presence. Isn’t the Tulsa area considered in the Bible belt?
Clear Creek is doing great, I made my first visit down there on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception this past year, and it is thriving, with about thirty monks. Clear Creek is actually about seventy miles from Tulsa in the middle of no where, if you aren’t looking for the monastery you aren’t going to find it. There are many people who have moved to the area to raise their children in a traditionally catholic setting, other than that there aren’t really many people who live in the area. On January First the monks moved from their temporary housing facility to the monastery now that the cells are finished. I am hoping to make another visit within the next 2-3 months and I’ll give you an update after that. Check out their website at clearcreekmonks.org for some pictures.
I don’t know!
The Lasance Missal is excellent. $40 is a good price, especially since the condition will be better than some you’d find on eBay. There’s a lot of good info on the Mass, symbols in Catholic art and a great selection of prayers.
