Contents page of our People’s Sunday missal and a thank you and photo from across the Irish sea

You can now see the contents page of our CTS Sunday Missal so you can check what is inside and what you will be getting at the end of November. (Your browser will need Flash player).

And Fr Robert McCabe CF, a priest from the diocese of Meath in Ireland, was the first to send in this photo of the Missal, with this kind message.

The Roman Missal open an image of the Last Judgement

Good afternoon.

My copy of the revised Missal arrived yesterday – in time for my three Masses today for All Souls’ Day.

I am very pleased with the quality of layout, formatting, artwork, binding, ribbons and design.

I will remember an extra prayer this evening for deceased members and benefactors of the Catholic Truth Society at my third Mass.

I will now order a number of sets of the Sunday Missal for my family and soldiers as Christmas presents!

Please pass on my compliments to your design and publishing team for all their hard work.

With good wishes.


Please do send in your shots, comments or questions too.

Special delivery for Pope Benedict! Handcrafted Roman Missal from CTS will be given to the Pope tomorrow. [Pictures]

Our project manager on the Roman Missal, Pierpaolo Finaldi, has today left for Rome with a special delivery for Pope Benedict XVI.

Together with Bishop Arthur Roche of Leeds, chairman of ICEL (International Commission for English in the Liturgy) and Mgr Bruce Harbert, a former executive director of the same body, he will present a special white edition of the new Roman Missal to the Holy Father.

When he returns, he will certainly have more to share here on the blog about the unforgettable experience; but for now, here are some photos he left us with, of the special gift prepared for the Pope.

Please note: ONLY Pope Benedict gets this special white leather edition! The binding features uniquely shaped boards and hand-tooling for the cover, and beautiful marbled endpapers. There is a dedicatory inscription to His Holiness, and it arrives in a velvet-lined presentation box.

As a final note, Mgr Bruce Harbert is also a CTS author, having written our Companion to the Order of Mass.

And parishes will begin to receive their own copies of the priests’ missals from next Tuesday!

More will follow on how it all went in Rome, when we have it.

New Altar Missals (nearly) packed and ready to go!

Yesterday, CTS marketing manager Richard Brown – pictured – took a trip out to Farnborough in Hampshire, to see the new Roman Missals being prepared for distribution.

In an enormous warehouse, a large part of it filled with rows upon rows of CTS Missals, he saw the progress on the packing and labelling of the many thousands of Missals currently on order. They will be dispatched from 24th October, reaching their destinations within a few days after that (typically 25th – 27th October).

The photos below give you a first glimpse of the packaged Missals.

(Please note: these are the Missals for priests. The people’s Sunday Missals will be available from 24 November 2011, and the people’s Daily Missals from mid-January 2012.)

CTS Missal used for the first time at clergy conference

RM01

Here at CTS, we have been busy taking orders for the New Roman Missal, but last Friday saw it being used in the celebration of Mass for the first time.

The clergy of Portsmouth held a conference on the new translation of the Mass entitled, “On the Revised Translation of the Roman Missal” from Wednesday 22nd until Friday 24th June at the Marwell Hotel and Conference Centre, Winchester. On the Friday of said conference, the commissioning editor of the CTS, Pierpaolo Finaldi gave a presentation on the new Missal and the various stages of editing, printing and publication.

After which one of the first full editions of the Altar Missal to come from the printers was used in the celebration of Mass. Although the new translation is available and has doubtless been used, this is the first time our Missal has fulfilled its purpose and we are very pleased.

LTO1 Companion to the Order of Mass – The new English language translation of the Missal uncovers many links between Scripture and the Liturgy that have hitherto been obscured. Mgr Harbert explores the meaning and import of the words of the Mass, reading them in their original context in the Bible.
LTO2 Understanding the Roman Missal – the New Translation – The Church, not only in Britain but throughout the whole English-speaking world, now has a new edition of the Roman Missal. This presentation and explanation of the new translation is accompanied by a series of liturgical and spiritual reflections.

Explanation booklets on the Mass are a great help – Rev Fr Leo Chamberlain OSB

LT01

The changes to the Mass are almost upon us, so here the Very Rev Fr Leo Chamberlain OSB gives us his thoughts on the two booklets we have produced: Dom Cuthbert Johnson OSB’s Understanding the Roman Missal – the New Translation and Mgr Bruce Harbert’s Companion to the Order of Mass, which give the reasons for, and the form of, the changes.

He draws attention to the illustrations contained in the booklets, and the discussion on the new translation of the Creed in particular.

“Both are excellently produced, and the illustrations relevant and helpful.  They are somewhat different in character – Abbot Cuthbert Johnson gives more of the text, and concentrates more closely in some instances on commenting on it – he discusses ‘consubstantial’, and he has some references which are helpful but not given by Mgr Bruce Harbert.

Illustrations

He makes a good reference to the Didache; and he gives some explanation of the Bidding Prayers – which Mgr Harbert may omit as not being strictly a matter of translation.

“But either is best read with the full text of the Mass. Mgr Bruce’s text is, I think, more penetrating in its presentation of the reasons for and style of the new translation; and more encompassing in giving the scriptural context more fully.  The Creed is generally presented more satisfactorily by Mgr Bruce. “

The Very Rev Fr Leo Chamberlain OSB is former headmaster of Ampleforth College in Yorkshire

Both booklets are available from the CTS website now priced £1.95 and £2.50.
