I’m going to be going off to college in about a month. Before I go I’d like to get a print version of the missal to have the daily readings (I want to attend daily Mass and the chapel doesn’t have missals). However, with the new translation coming soon, I don’t want to get a soon to be outdated version. So my question is: Is there already a print version of the new translation of the liturgy?

And this is just me being curious, but is the 1962 missal the same readings we hear now?

Thanks
 
Most of the people I know subscribe to a monthly magazine that contains the daily and Sunday readings as well as other good things. That way everything should be kept up-to-date. I now subscribe to Living with Christ. They have a website through which you can order the magazine. I used to subscribe to Magnificat. It was good, too. The only reason I changed was because someone gave me a copy of Living with Christ when I moved here so it was easier for me to order it.

A few points:
  1. The translation of the readings is not changing. In the U.S., the NAB is used; in Britain, I think the Jerusalem Bible; in any event, the lectionary is remaining the same and, to my knowledge, there are no particular plans in the works to revise it.
  2. I don’t think anybody makes a single missal that contains all the readings for all daily Masses. It would have to be very large.
  3. No, the state of readings in the 1962 missal is quite different. Among the differences: most Sundays and feasts had only an epistle and a Gospel reading, nothing from the Old Testament; there were no daily readings prescribed except for Advent and Lent, so unless a feast applied you would just repeat the readings from the previous Sunday; everything was on a single one-year cycle, rather than the present lectionary’s system of a three-year cycle for Sundays and major feasts and a two-year cycle for weekdays.

If you have access to a printer, the USCCB has them daily.
usccb.org/nab/index.shtml
 
Nothing available until mid August at earliest. Publishers having some problems. The official start date first Sunday Advent Nov 27. You may find some material if you contact the diocesan office; or a local parish may have printed some single sheet excerpts.
You will not find any major differences. Worry not. Just prayer and remain faith-filled.

Unless there were further changes here’s a comparison of the old vs new English responses:

This does not include the new translations of the collects and other propers which aren’t directly read from Scripture.

The liturgical calendar was changed with the promulgation of the OF in 1970, though many of the major feast days and saint days were kept intact. It would be strictly a coincidence if exactly the same passages were to be used on a given Sunday or weekday between the two forms. This is true whether in Latin or in any translation.
