St Andrew Daily Missal 1945 (Gold Edges)

You want pre 55 this is a great little missal

The St. Andrew Daily Missal is a real gem and worth every penny. It has much material in it which I have not found in any other missal. It includes extensive doctrinal, liturgical and historical notes for the seasons. Each Sunday Mass includes a commentary which ties in the Mass with the traditional breviary. These commentaries contain explanations for the readings of the Mass, often with comments from the saints. The Kyriale and hymns are in modern music notations. But the missal is not without some shortcomings. The typeface of the commentaries and their footnotes is very small. I personally need a magnifying glass. And the section dealing with the sacraments for some reason excludes Extreme Unction. Nevertheless, I find this to be one of the best traditional Latin Sunday Missals. Generally, to get the best out of it one should study the Sunday Mass beforehand.

I have most of the missals available, but by far this is the best missal I have ever owned and used. There are 1962 St. Andrew Missals ( I also own one) usually sold used but that I don't recommend, they are a bit modernized and changed. I highly recommend this 1945 St. Andrew Missal. I love that there are explanations of each mass, and the stational churches. There are also updates in the end of certain masses for feastdays like the Assumption and the Immaculate Heart. It's a very easy to use missal, fits your palm perfectly, it's hard bound and feels durable. It also contains litanies in both English and Latin and many prayers. It's a beautiful missal with very inspiring and traditional illustrations. I highly recommend this missal, it's probably the best available.

Through no fault of the seller, my missal was missing 30 pages! I didn’t notice until March 31 (it was missing Easter through Easter Wednesday!). I had no hope since I had purchased it in January. But, how wrong I was. Not only did they answer my email within minutes of sending, they are sending a replacement. Extraordinary and good to know there are businesses like this still out there.

This missal is beautiful and well made. I had a small issue that was resolved quickly and would definitely buy from this seller again.

Still have not heard from seller regarding the book arriving with no gold edges - shameful! I recently ordered the St. Andrew's Missal to replace my old one which I left behind in the U.S. I now live overseas. I was told the missal would arrive on the 18th of March, but it arrived yesterday, 25 March. I can understand about late delivery because of the current situation in the world, so I do not fault the order for this.The Missal was advertised as having "Gold Edges" which I thought would justify the price, which seemed high for me, though I honestly do not remember what I paid for my old one about 10-15 years ago.Anyway, the Missal arrived in perfect condition, well wrapped and packed in the box. There was a while line across the bottom of the front cover which looks like it could be glue or something from production, but otherwise perfect condition. This book is a comprehensive Traditional Latin Mass Book with all the parts of the Holy Mass, the Gospel Readings, the prayers and masses for First Friday, First Saturday, lent, advent, Holy Week, etc. There are extra prayers and ALL in side-by-side Latin and English translation. It is nicely laid out - print a bit small which is understandable but good to note for fold with visual issues. It is compact, but bulky in size, and easily fits in my purse.If you are looking for a high quality comprehensive Latin- English Traditional Latin Mass Book - this is the one!

WONDERFUL! When the Catholic Church gets confusing, go back to when it was Truth! Wonderfully explained in English and Explains why We did what we did in Latin Mass. I found the treasure in the Latin Mass and can now Participate in the Worship! Thank you Amazon for carrying it!

The St. Andrew is an excellent missal that I highly recommend. It has all the Sunday readings, major feast days, meditations, and explanations for various ceremonies and traditions. Other extras include preparation for Confession, certain litanies and prayers as well as chants. It's just what I needed to follow the Latin Mass.
