Title: Helps to Follow Along in Mass
Review: I bought two Missals to help my wife and I follow along in Mass. We are new converts to Catholicism, and we felt a little lost during the liturgy. This is the superior of the two missals. The vinyl binding is flexible and durable. The book is well organized and easy to use, with a minimum of page-turning necessary. At the back there is a useful section on prayer which is a nice bonus.However, some of the commentaries on the Scripture readings are pretty liberal in their interpretation. Fortunately, these comments are easy to ignore (which is what I do most of the time). The typeface is easy to read, but the overall design and layout of the book is somewhat old-fashioned. The full color picture inserts look like prints of Rennaissance paintings, which is OK if you like that sort of thing. I would prefer a more up-to-date design.However, the Missal does its job well, and should last the reader a long time.
