Help finding a EF daily missal

[moon1234]

The only real knock for the St. Joseph is the lack of Latin Propers. It is, however, the most popular used daily missal at my parish. The kids and young adults much prefer it because it has many full color, full page illustrations with many b/w images throughout. It is simple to use and has most of the optional items that might come up at Mass. All of the readings are in “modern” English without the PC **** that has invaded the newest post 1965 bibles.

Angelus Press missal is probably the most widely used “New” missal out there. Literally everything is in it with Latin and English translations for all. The only thing I don’t like is that the English is the old Douay Rheims English. It can be hard to read at times and is not what you will hear read from the pulpit in most places. There is a lack of images and some decisions on how to order the missal make flipping pages a little cumbersome. An example would be the almost endless prefaces are all put together in ONE spot. This means you also need a separate ribbon to skip over most of them to get to the Canon. The St. Joseph is much simpler as the preface is grouped with the daily readings with only the generic Sunday/Weekday preface in the “follow the mass” section. This is a lot easier to navigate in my opinion.

If I were you I would look for a leather cover 1957 or later edition of the St. Joseph daily missal on flea bay. Might take a month, but you should be able to find one almost new for less than $20. Many come with period holy cards and other easter eggs inside.

If you only read translations then perhaps the following comparison of one of the Offertory prayers may be helpful to you.​

Interlinear:

Deus, qui humanæ substantiæ dignitatem
God, Who of human substance dignity

mirabiliter condidisti,
wonderfully has created,

et mirabilius reformasti:
and more wonderfully reformed:

da nobis per hujus aquæ et vini mysterium,
give to us through this of water and wine mystery,

ejus divinitatis esse consortes
His divinity to be partakers

qui humanitatis nostræ fieri dignatus est particeps,
Who in humanity our to become has granted partaker,

Jesus Christus Filius tuus Dominus noster:
Jesus Christ Son Your Lord our:

Qui tecum vivit et regnat
Who with You lives and reigns

in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus:
in union with Spirit Holy God:

per omnia sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
for all ages of ages. Amen.​

St. Joseph - “O God, Who hast established the nature of man in wondrous dignity, and still more admirably restored it, grant that through the mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His Divinity, Who has condescended to become partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.”

My Sunday Missal - “O God, Who hast established the nature of man in wondrous dignity, and even more wonderously hast renewed it, grant that through the mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His Divinity, Who has deigned to become partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God world without end. Amen.”

St. Andrew - “O God, Who in a wonderful manner didst create and ennoble human nature, and still more wonderfully hast renewed it; grant that, by the mystery of this water and wine, we may be partakers of His divinity who vouchsafed to become partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord: who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.”

Fr Lasance - “O God, Who in creating man didst exalt his nature very wonderfully and yet more wonderfully didst establish it anew: by the mystery signified in the mingling of this water and wine, grant us to have part in the Godhead of Him Who hath vouchsafed to share our manhood, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God; world without end. Amen.”

Angelus - “O God, Who in creating human nature didst marvelously ennoble it, and hast still more marvelously renewed it: grant that by the mystery of this water and wine, we may be partakers of His Divinity Who vouchsafed to become partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, Who liveth and reigned with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.”

1857 Missal - “O God, who, in creating human nature, hast wonderfully dignified it, and still more wonderfully reformed it: grant that by the mystery of this Water and Wine, we may be partakers of his divine nature, who vouchsafed to become partaker of our human nature, namely, Jesus Christ one Lord, thy Son, in the unity of …”

Campion - "O God, Who in creating man didst exalt his nature very wonderfully and yet more wonderfully didst establish it anew by the mystery signified in the mingling of this water and wine, grant us to have part in the Godhead of Him Who hath vouchsafed to share our manhood Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord. WHo liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

I have a copy of the St. Joseph’s daily missal from 1959 printed by Catholic Book Publishing. Co. I love it. It is really easy to use. I also have a St. Andrew’s from the same era that is a little more difficult to use. I would recommend the St. Joseph’s.

Thanks for all the advice. I found a 1959 System. Josephs Daily Missal at Goodwill today and will use that.
