Daily Roman Missal

Nora gave me my birthday present a little early this year.

I've been having difficulty keeping track of everything during the Catholic Mass.

She bought me this wonderful large print leather edition of the Daily Roman Missal. I'm still a little confused on how to use it to keep me straight during the Mass. However, I'll get together with her father over the weekend. He'll be able to help me out on this.

This really is a nice present.

Tomorrow - another book I recently bought which will also help.

Here's the blurb for the missal
