My wife recently picked up a Saint Andrew daily missal in a second hand shop for a few pounds which is in excellent condition.We will be attending the Tridentine/Latin mass in the new year and her Missal was printed in the late 1940’s, will she be able to use it in a 1962 Tridentine Mass.
What are the differences in the Missals pre 1962 compared to the post 1962
Thanks for any help:)

the changes should be mostly minor details. for example, the 1962 Missal added St. Joseph to the list of saints mentioned in the Cannon (Eucharistic Prayer). there will probibly be a few other things, but the overall meaning of everything should be the same.

one thing you might want to look for is that most Latin Mass communitied will provide latin/english booklets that youy can borrow. you might want to cheack the back of the church as you walk in. then you can use your missal for the readings and prayers that change every day.

also, just a heads up. you will probibly be lost the first couple of times that you go. it takes a few Masses to get used to the flow, but its not bad at all once you get used to it, just be patient.

It’s actually dealing more with altar missals.

A 1945 lay missal will have all the texts of a 1962 missal except for the Holy Week. Otherwise, the changes between the two concerned mostly suppressions, or changes in rank, or rubrics on when to say the Gloria, Creed, additional collects, etc. - that affects the priest - but nothing really new in the way of texts except for the Holy Week and, as the previous poster mentioned, St. Joseph in the Canon. There are some small changes in the Latin of the Collects around the Easter Octave.

With regard to the St Andrew Missal itself. The old traditional woodcuts that one sees in the 1940s were changed in favour of more modern looking ones from 1958 onwards. So in the 1962 St Andrew Missal one sees the Novus Ordo Collins style of artwork with some Latin words.
 
i would love to find one, wish I had kept mine from 1st comm in 1957, I still remember stopping for a donut after Mass, carrying my missal, and someone commenting how good it was to see a young person carrying a bible. i explained to the best of my 4th grade ability what it was, and showed her how much scripture it contained, and she was impressed, but a little nervous. this was “standard issue” for Catholic school children in my era, and it was taught in school, rubrics, the reasons for them, and any of us, girls included, could recite the prayers said by the altar servers in Latin, knew at least 2 chant settings for Mass, and a number of Latin hymns. If middle school children could learn it then, it should be no problem for whole congregations to learn again.
