MISSALE ROMANUM (1962) Reproduced with the gracious permission of Cardinal John J. O’Connor. “In a discussion with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger recently, I asked His Eminence for his assessment of the future of the 1962 Missal as an approved liturgical book. He assured me that it was completely secure. For this reason, and because of the publishing event you see here, it is certain that the use of the 1962 Missale Romanum will increase dramatically in the years to come. The remarkable increase in young priests ordained with the Pope’s approval to use this Missal gives great hope by itself. . . . The availability of a fresh supply of 1962 altar Missals changes the landscape utterly, and is a symbol to the rest of the Church of a renewal of sacred tradition in union with the Holy Father. . . .”—Author Michael Davies. This is a masterfully reproduced book, down to the smallest detail. Smyth-sewn binding, tabbed pages, illustrations, quality Finch vanilla paper, 2-color pages throughout, gold-gilded pages all round, ribbon markers in the liturgical colors, rich red leather hardcover. |
