The CTS New Daily Missal: People’s Edition with the New Translation of the Mass<\/em>. London: Catholic Truth Society, 2012.<\/a> 3440pp. \u00a345.00 \/ $69.30<\/p>\n

After many months’ wait, a Royal Mail parcel finally arrived at my doorstep a few days ago. I had pre-ordered The CTS New Daily Missal<\/em> based on the description alone: the Roman Missal in Latin and English, plus the full lectionary in one volume. At 7″ x 5″ x 2 1\/2″ (17.5 cm x 13 cm x 6.5 cm) and more than a few pounds, this is certainly a hefty volume! Let’s take a look inside.<\/p>\n

It’s expected that a CTS publication would contain the calendar for England and Wales (in this case Scotland and Ireland as well). The lectionary readings are Jerusalem Bible (1966) and RSV; the psalms Grail. This added layer of a different lectionary and calendar might not appeal to some North Americans, given that their Mass readings will not correspond with this missal. Even so, some might prefer the British and Irish lectionary. This, perhaps, is a matter of individual preference.<\/p>\n

While the missal carries both a concordat cum originali<\/em> and an imprimatur<\/em>, a brief catechism on the Eucharist from Sacrosanctum Concilium<\/em> \u00a7\u00a7 5 — 8, 47 — 48 replaces the GIRM. Furthermore, the rubrics of the ordinary are not exactly those of the actual Roman Missal. For these reasons, this missal is probably not intended for a Mass celebrant. Despite this, every typical text contained in the Missale Romanum<\/em> and every translation in the Roman Missal is presented in side-by-side columns save the ordinary which is facing pages. The chants of the ordinary save the prefaces and the celebrant’s chants for the eucharistic prayers are presented in neumes within the Latin text and treble clefs within the English translation. The selection of chants from the Roman Missal reflect the congregational parts of the ordinary. Even so, the selection of ordinary chants is not entirely logical. For example, there is no musical notation for the asperges me<\/em> or vidi aquam<\/em>. The ommission of the asperges chant is perhaps consistent with the Ordinary Form rubric which permits another hymn instead of the traditional chant for the sprinkling rite. This is but a very minor criticism.<\/p>\n

I have but one other critique of The CTS New Daily Missal<\/em>. This point is based entirely on personal preference and is scarcely important for most Masses. The Liturgy of the Word does not contain the Latin texts of the reformed Graduale Romanum<\/em> with English translation. Then again, the Gradual is a choir-book and not part of either the missal or lectionary. For this reason it does not belong in this hand missal. Nevertheless, I would not mind meditating both the gradual and the responsorial psalm at Mass without having to bring more than one book. Again, this criticism does not detract from the general excellence of this hand missal.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most striking feature of the The CTS New Daily Missal<\/em> is its beautiful printed illuminations for major feasts of the church year. The eye and mind cannot thrive on word alone; both seek beautiful images for meditation. This missal’s merger of the word and image has created a thorough guide and resource for Mass. The CTS New Daily Missal<\/em> is certainly a high quality reference for clergy and layperson alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
