What is the best Daily Missal to use for the Traditional Latin Mass?

Yes GK, I’d probably be much more surprised at finding the Articles in the Anglican Missal, than at not finding them.
Since in my one year stint as a postulant I only conducted Morning Prayer, I never got to experience the intricacies of navigating the full size, altar Missal. But I imagine it’s not extremely different in logical arrangement than a Roman Missal.
 
Our diocesan TLM parish bookstore sells the Angelus Press 1962 Missal. They sell a lot of them. And they are FSSP!
Again, if a bookstore in a Roman Catholic Diocese stocks it, there can’t be any problem in buying and using it. I trust the wisdom of the bookstore proprietors in this regard. I’m pretty sure nothing gets put on the shelves there that the FSSP priests in residence aren’t aware of.

Interestingly enough, they don’t stock the Novus Ordo Missal.
 
Well, just thought I’d ask since I had them on the phone, lol. Not saying I was surprised.
And before any feathers get ruffled, I used the term “Novus Ordo” in regard to that Missal because…the publishers themselves use the term! How about that?

I personally don’t care, and when I’m not on this site, I say Novus Ordo. For some reason people have used it as an insult and put a bad taste in people’s mouths here.
 
Oh I agree! Pope Paul VI himself repeatedly referred to the “new order” of the Mass. It’s only those who feel a need to be offended, who are triggered by the term…
I suspect what bugs some the most is that the term Novus Ordo is Latin. Some Catholics seem highly allergic to even trace amounts of Latin.

And the Canons Regular at Saint John Cantius in Chicago who are in full communion with Rome sold it.
Edit: apologies for the short reply, but every time someone mentions the Angelus Press offering of the 1962 missal in a thread here, someone else will inevitably introduce negativity into the discussion of the available Missals suitable for use, most charitably granted to the faithful by BXVI in his Summorum Pontificum.

The United States Council of Catholic Bishops does not forbid, nor discourage the use of the Angelus Press Missal. It is simply a newly typeset / reprint of The Ideal Missal.

As one sees here, the most recent date is 1962. There is nothing radical, revolutionary, nor non -Catholic about that missal.

Hi, if you haven’t decided yet may I suggest that you obtain one of these.
http://ecclesiadei.org/Booklet Missals.htm

7.00 US and has all of the illustrations and commentary to make following along with the Forma extraordinaria ( Traditional Latin Mass) easy.

Many parishes where the TLM is prayed do have them available for use by the laity and the day’s propers are printed on an insert placed in the booklet. It is still good to have one of your own though so you can read it at home.

If you have a smartphone, or internet access at home with a printer you can get the day’s propers at this site…


And of course if you do take your phone or tablet to Mass be sure to turn your ringer off or any other Audible notifications or sounds.

Here is an example of what you will see in the booklet. First an explanation of the Priest’s rubrics, where at the altar he is standing, etc., as well as the prayer he would be praying at that time in Latin.

And here is the opposite page with the prayer in English along with commentary…

That’s good common sense advice, but hardly something particular to Latin Mass. Its equally valid for any mass, other religious meeting, class, libraries, other quiet places.
 
I have that on my bookshelf as well as an old Latin Missal that belonged to a priest who was a friend of our family.
 
Thanks so much! My parish has plenty of these available for use and they’re super helpful. I actually use these ones when I’m there but only really need to follow along for the Last Gospel so that I’m ready to genuflect for the “Et Verbum Caro Factum Est”. Although I could use my smartphone for the propers I would prefer to have a physical copy- I’d probably get a lot of funny looks lol. But thanks for the help!
 
I don’t think you would get any funny looks.

My OF missal is bulky so I just use the USCCB daily readings on my phone at weekday Mass. A few other regulars use theirs as well.
 
Btw, Una Voce provides the day’s propers inserts for our booklets at my Parish.
 
I see. I haven’t been to a Sunday mass in the EF since I assist at the NO right before (staying for the EF is a little bit of a stretch but I hope to attend a Sunday mass soon), so maybe they have the propers for Sundays in my parish. I attended the Solemn High Mass for the Ascension and they had the propers in a separate pamphlet. But on the Thursdays and Fridays that I go for Low Mass they don’t have the pamphlets with the propers. Maybe soon they’ll make it a thing.

What percentage of the Faithful in 2018 at Latin Mass, follow along in a missal or from booklets available in the pews? I know that some people did back in the 1960’s, but certainly not the majority.
 
I don’t anymore because the print is too fine for me to read, even with glasses. But the younger folks usually don’t have that excuse. 🙂
 
For those who are more tech inclined, there is a free Android (possibly iPhone as well) app called ‘1962 Missal and Breviary’ developed by luxaeterna that is a good choice for newcomers to the Latin Mass. I use it mainly for the breviary (of which there are several to choose from), but my wife likes using it for the Mass.

The great thing about the app is that it places the propers within the Mass, so you just scroll normally on your phone/tablet without having to flip back and forth between pages to get the daily readings. I haven’t gotten used to using an electronic device during Mass yet, but it works great for my wife who is usually holding one child in one hand and her phone in the other to follow along.
