Well worth the money! - By: Orchid Seychelles, 01 Jun 2007 
I ordered my copy of the Sunday missal last year & ever since then my husband has hogged it. It is an invaluable companion to Sunday service & I highly recommend it. Once you place your little ribbon on the correct page & start to follow through the correct year, season etc, it does make participatingin mass far more enjoyable. However, as the previous reviewer has said, it can be a bit trickyin parts to follow & it would certainly benefit from some more ribbons, but these are quite minorin comparison to the overall benefit that this wonderful book provides.
Of course the reason that I am back on this page is that I now need to order another copy for myself :)
Missal - By: Miss B, 09 Oct 2006 
I was given this by my Great Aunt who is 92 years old & got it from her church & she paid over £30 for it so I would say this is a bargain price! It is clearly laid out & lightweight which is probably why the pages are quite thin. It is the complete daily missal which some people havein two halves but I prefer to have just one book. Good value for money as it's not going to go out of date much!
A good buy - By: SWJ Davies, 06 Jun 2006 
This is a good book. It presents the proper & ordinary of the Massin the correct (though sometimes complicated way) manner, & is useful, if you would like to follow the Mass, read the people's parts (if you havn't already memorised them!) or prayers (e.g. Eucharistic prayers) then this is a good choice if you have the money. There is nothing extra here than isn't alreadyin the Parish Mass books or sheets (if you have them) though do provide the opportunity to look at the texts at any time. The content is entirely sufficient, though not total (that would make a very large book!), & the cover protects the delicate pages quite well. The various parts of the Liturgy are organisedin a complicated manner occasionaly, especially for the Masses which allow for alternative readings. It could also do with a few more ribbons to mark pages (it has only two, which I have found to be insufficient). Overall, it is a good buy if you have a spare £15 hanging around.
Do you really need this? - By: Mr. O. Keenan, 08 May 2006 
This is the official Weekday Missal of the Roman Catholic Church - it's obviously excellent & authoritative. The proper of the mass is particularly well locatedin the centre of the missal with highlighted pages for easy access. Lectionary is well set out, easy to use & uses the approved translation. Amazon has a particularly good price for this Missal - it usually costs around £30in the shops.
However - ask yourself this question - do you really need it & will you use it? If you are hard of hearing & go to weekday mass, & your church doesn't provide weekday mass sheets the answer might be yes. If you are somebody who doesn't attend weekday mass, but wants something to reflect/meditate upon - I can think of cheaper & more accessible products.
