How do I figure out the weekday missal?

[thomasg64]

Can anyone direct me to a website or other resource that gives me the readings and prayers for each day in the weekday missal? I am entirely new to the Catholic Church and find it all very confusing indeed! When I go to Mass during the week, I am completely lost. I find it difficult to ask others as I am rather shy.

The best resource I know of is the magazine Magnificat, which has the readings and prayers for each day of the month (including Sundays) all together in each issue. For example, the June 2011 issue will give you the readings and prayers for each day of the month of June 2011. The magazine also includes the order of the Mass and articles on different aspects of the faith.

The only downside is that you would have to purchase a subscription to get the issues delivered to you on a monthly basis. But you can usually find individual issues for sale at the newstand in Catholic bookstores. You might buy individual issues for a few months first to see if you like the magazine well enough to subscribe.
