What was the printing error?
My New Roman Missal from Midwest Theological Forum (lots of pics)

Absolutely!
Whereas the St. Joseph’s missal had little commentaries regarding the day’s readings (which I personally did not find very spiritually deep), the MTF missal has selections from the Catechism before the day’s readings.

It was a printer error not a publisher error. A few pages were printed with a printer that seemed to be low on ink. Large white bands down pages making them unreadable.

This book is so voluminous you could really take a day off and simply explore it. It’s amazing in its scope. I bought it and selected it as my sole Christmas present from my wife (she appreciated my shopping for her, but she made me wait to open it). I find the depth of it amazing.
On a different note, I wish this had been the translation for the last 40 years while the folks streamed out the doors.

Good. I was worried that you were getting the version I linked to, which is a huge book meant to be used by the priest, and so would be too unnecessarily hefty for those in the pews.

not to mention, it wouldn’t have the readings!

White- Dec 29 reading (Christmas time)
Gold - Jan 3 reading (Christmas time to Epiphany)
Red- Introductory rites
Dark Pink - Tuesday of ordinary time (for the Tues following Jan 9th Baptism of the Lord?)
Green - Feast of the Holy Innocents (Proper of Saints section)
Blue- optional readings
I still need to spend time reading through it and seeing what all is in it.
I think my dh almost didn’t buy it for me. I had asked for the missal and an amethyst ring. When he told me there were layoffs happening at work and he was concerned about his future, I told him to skip the ring and just get the missal. He looked funny and said he had already ordered the ring. About a week later a book sized amazon box showed up.

The missal cover arrived from Sacramentals.org and all I can say is–wow.
It’s not like the slip ons for the Tridentine Mass missals that are pictured on the website. It slips on, but also has a zipper closure. There is a Holy Family medal on the zipper pull, wired on with a wrapped wire “bow.” These covers are not pictured on the website, they do have some of them, because a woman makes them specially for the MTF Daily Roman Missal (3rd.) and these folks tend to lean toward the traditional side. The vinyl is soft, leatherlike, and high quality, and the stitching is done very well.
They’re not cheap ($29 including shipping) but I think it was worth it to protect my investment.
I got mine in burgundy, they also have it in black, but can get it in other colors. I had wanted a pine green, but the lady who makes them up couldn’t find a good quality vinyl in that color.
They’re really nice folks, too. This couple seems to have found a niche ministry in providing high quality sacramental goods. Now that I’ve given a pretty shameless pitch for them, I just want everyone to know that I don’t work for them, or anything like that–LOL!
If I can figure out a way to upload a picture to this site, I will.

I bought some 3M clear label sheets and put them to good use by printing some prayers and personalization. The camcorder is standard-definition so these pics aren’t my best. I’m waiting for the missal cover to arrive the week of January 8. BTW the new missal has a total of 16 blank pages. I used the clear labels to add the rosary prayers in Spanish and Latin, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy prayers in Spanish and Latin, the ancient prayer to St. Joseph and spiritual communion prayers (pictured below).

Happy St. Anthony (Abbot) Day!
Heads Up Folks!
Wednesday is the first day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. A special Mass for the Unity of Christians may be said in your parish church. The special mass prayers are found on p. 2121 of your MTF missal. 1st Reading begins on p. 873 with Responsorial Psalm, Alleluia, and Gospel on p. 874.
I discovered this looking at a copy of Magnificat, I suppose it will be said in my church but the liturgical calendar that our Archdiocese puts out has nothing about it. I did see it on the liturgical calendar on the Vatican’s website. It’s not on the calendar on the USCCB website.
Does anyone know if celebration of these types of special masses are up to the USCCB or are they at the discretion of each Archdiocese? There doesn’t seem to be any calendar entry anywhere in the MTF missal about it that I could find.

I have a Liturgical Calendar from my Parish and today January 18, 2012 it says “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity”.
It is marked on the USCCB General Calendar. Although if you turn off Events in the filter check box the Week of Prayer for Christian unity goes away. It is not on the Roman Liturgical Calendar, my guess is it’s optional.
My Parish usually has a mass and gets the pastors of those parishes together for a prayer service.

Thanks for the info on the calendar.
I ended up having to stay home yesterday because I wasn’t feeling well so I don’t know if they celebrated the Mass for Unity of Christians on p. 2121 of the MTF missal at my church. However I was able to watch Daily Mass on EWTN and they used the elements from pp. 858 and 859 and readings from pp. 872-874, opting (I guess) not to celebrate the Mass for Unity of Christians.
A separate question…
The weekday readings now in ordinary time in the MTF missal show two readings (I and II) for the 1st Reading. Which is selected? Is there a rubric somewhere that instructs us to use one or the other? I can see Reading I is NT Hebrews and Reading II is OT Samuel, and that it appears we’re stepping through either Hebrews or Samuel from day to day. Do they simply decide between NT or OT and then stick with it from day to day until the end of the bible section? I notice both *Magnificat *and Give Us This Day indicate OT Samuel.

Weekday Masses follow a two year cycle of readings (Sunday masses follow a three year cycle). In 2012, we are in Sunday Cycle B and Weekday Year II.
Have a Blessed Day!

As FLGreg said, weekdays go by a two year cycle of readings, alternating between year I and year II. You can find what year we are in using the calendar tables on page xxxiv at the front of the book. The table is pictured earlier in this thread.

Tim/FLGreg,
Thanks much for pointing it out to me.
On p. xxi it says readings and responsorial psalms for weekday masses in ordinary time alternate on biannual basis between years I and II.
I definitely need to read that whole introduction more closely,
Thanks Again.

hey everyone, hate to bump the thread but I have a few questions.
Thanks!
- I’m determining whether to get the bonded leather version or the hard cover version. What are the pros and cons of both? Do they both open flat?
Thanks!

Mine is bonded leather. It’s too thick to open flat.
I do leave it in the pew when I receive Communion.- Status
