Very nice web site and very imformative. I still use the daily missle from when I was a child, latin one side of the page, english on the other.
Very warm website. Good luck with your book and spreading the word

Thank you for your support, Rose.
A couple of years ago, my mother gave me her 1961 personal missal for Christmas (with the Latin on one page and the English on the other). It was a very thoughtful gift and it has really contributed to my spiritual growth.
I don't know why personal missals went out of "fashion" -- although perhaps the widespread use of the vernacular contributed to a sense that aids or helps like personal missals wouldn't (or shouldn't) be necessary. I would still recommend their use, and I wouldn't be surprised if they start to make a comeback over the next several years, especially if we begin to see some Latin return to the Mass.
Again, thank you!
Do you offer a trade discount for bookstores? I am interested in purchasing 20 copies for our store.
Thank you.

Mary, I'm sorry it took so long for me to get around to posting this comment of yours. (I thought I turned comment moderation off.)
Yes, I offer the book at the standard retail discount to bookstores. I'll be in contact with you today.
