This book contains the traditional Latin Mass in text and translation. An “ordinary” is a basic order of service. It contains the constant elements of the liturgy that are found in a service of Divine worship. This ordinary contains the basic ingredients of the traditional Latin Mass in Roman rite. The Latin text and English translation are printed in two separate columns and a handy table of contents allows you to quickly move to any part of the service. This edition is especially suited to the extraordinary form of Latin Mass (1960/62) that is commonly used in most non-monastic communities. This form was revived under Benedict XVI but technically promulgated by John XXIII during the Second Vatican Council. Just to make sure, in preparing this edition I have carefully compared it with the 1925 text of the Daily Missal. In summary, there are no real changes: this is a shortened version of the Missal that was in use at least since the time of Gregory the Great (c.540 – 12 March 604), and codified at the Council of Trent (1570). This ordinary is also very helpful for students of classical music, as all classical composers use the text of this book for their Mass settings/compositions, e.g. Mozart’s Masses can be easily followed and understood.
