Sami,

I’m so glad you discovered the “most beautiful thing this side of Heaven!” I have a different 1962 missal, but the basics are the same:

Before Mass, you’ll need to mark it with ribbons in two places
  1. the Ordinary of the Mass (all the parts that are the same each week)
  2. the Propers of the Mass (all the parts that are different each week)
First mark the beginning of the Ordinary. There should be a heading that says “Aperges Me” there. Then, to get ready for this coming Sunday, leaf through the part that has the liturgical calendar days named somewhere at the top of the page until you find the “Second Sunday after Easter,” and mark that.

You’ll be all set! After Mass this Sunday, you can remember to turn your Ordinary ribbon back to the beginning and your Proper ribbon to the beginning of the “Third Sunday after Easter.”
 
Also, consider asking someone at the Mass. I know I’d be happy to help in person, I’m sure others would too.

You will start with the Ordinary first. During a Low Mass it will be the prayers at that altar beginning with:" In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit". During a High Mass or Solemn High Mass you will start with the Aperges Me. When you get to the introit, collect, epistle, gradual, etc. you will flip to either the front of the Missal which is usually for Sundays and major feast days, or you will flip to the back which is reserved for the Saints, votive Masses, and etc.

Always start with the Ordinary. It will cue you when to turn to the Propers with notations like “Introit of the day,” etc. Each Proper has its own heading, so when you finish one, flip back to the Ordinary and pick up where you left off. Then repeat this each time the Ordinary says to look up the Proper. It becomes second nature.
 
Thanks guys makes sense now, is that the same with the missal for the Novus Ordo ordinary form too?
 
I find myself needing about 5 ribbons when I use the hand missal for the extraordinary form of Holy Mass.
#1 ribbon for the proper of Mass (introit, collect, offertory, secret, communion and post-communion with the readings) - using the past Sunday, Dominica in albis as an example, p. 662 of the Baronius Missal
#1 ribbon for the preface - Preface for Easter & Eastertide, p. 881.
#1 ribbon at the start of the Ordinary, p. 895
#1 ribbon at the start of the Canon (so that I can quickly locate the Canon after the Sanctus), p. 936
#1 ribbon at the Kyriale, Lux et origo for Eastertide, p. iv at the back of the book.

By the way, does your copy of the Baronius Missal have a supplement for Australia and New Zealand? Based in my checks, there are 3 editions of the Baronius Missal:
A 2004 edition (pre Summorum Pontificum) with 2216 pages
A 2007 edition ( Summorum Pontificum edition) with 2224 pages
Another Summorum Pontifcum edition with 2248 pages supposedly with the supplement for Australia and New Zealand.
 
Hello,

I also have the Baronius Press Missal. Here’s how I navigate mine:
  1. Look for the liturgical calendar table of contents. If there is a Saint’s feast day or other solemnity, the mass will almost be that Saint’s day for prayers and readings. If not there are different votive masses celebrated during the week (you may need to call the parish to find out what weekday ferial it is.) First find the appropriate Saints’ section or the mass based on the liturgical calendar. (From a prior blog post) For example on p. 1223 of my Baronius, it’s St. John of Capistran. The rotating prayers (introit, kyrie, etc.) start on that page.
  2. Follow the order of the Mass. Go to that main page from the liturgical TOC when you reach the appropriate rotating daily prayer. When you come up to a reading or prayer that is not exclusively unique, it should tell you where to go. My example: At the epistle, it tells me to go to p.994 for a Martyr not a Bishop for the reading. My lesson is Wisdom 10:10-14.
  3. After that page, go back to that main page for the mass of the day at the appropriate part of the ordinary of the Mass to continue on.
  4. You may end up repeating 2) and 3) several times with the Gospel, the other prayers, and notably the preface for Holy Communion.
Does that help enough?

Based on what I’ve seen of my fiancee’s Daily Roman Missal, 3rd ed, I’d say yes.

No, I disagree, there are things in the EF that are still cut out of the new Roman Missal 3rd Edition.

I meant the manner of marking pages and flipping back and forth, and how the books are divided up. I’d be the last one to minimize the differences of the forms if that’s what you mean.

I hope it starts " In nomine Patris, et Filii,…"!

Mine is the 2009 fourth edition it has 2248 pages and the supplements are for the U.K, USA and Australasia it does have the Summorum Pontificum. So I suppose there are four editions. I’m getting the hang of it slowly, it seems very complex but I think I prefer the high latin mass now so I’ll stick with it. The say normal mass right after so I stay for that to. Feels great

That just happened to me today. The Mass was announced as a votive Mass of St. Joseph and I could not find the propers in my missal. I had to ask someone else for help. She was very kind and friendly. It was a happy experience of connecting with my fellow Catholic and it added a positive extra to Mass.
