I'm so glad I listened to the Holy Spirit this afternoon when I heard in my spirit, "You can find it on RU-vid, how to read the missal"--😀The same missal I bought two plus years ago, and never used. The church I'm going to now, I found out today, will soon no longer give out the inserts, and we all will have to use our missals! It looked so difficult to🤦♀ understand after I bought it, and it's been sitting on the shelf since then. But now after watching this, I😊 think I'll get the hang of it in time. Thanks so much for making this tutorial! God bless!🙏💗✝🕊
I bought one of these myself, but I will likely return it. Poor, splotchy print quality (many words are illegible due to a surplus of ink), few explanations of prayers (if you've seen the way the Angelus Press missal provides context in the margins, there's none of that), dated charts (movable feasts expired in the 1970s), and a surprisingly sparse collection of devotional prayers make this the emptiest missal I've ever encountered, despite being a doorstopper. I returned my Angelus Press missal because I needed the extra money at the time, and I wish I hadn't. It's a superior missal in every regard.
There is a web site that prints out the whole TLM for each mass day -with all the propers and any special prayers necessary all filled out- where they are supposed to be… so.. No need to bring a missal.. print it out and follow along with ZERO flipping. It even highlights in yellow where the laity can respond. As long as youve got a printer. Or read it from a smartphone - a bit tougher to follow along. I use the missal (I have Father Lasance as well) before and after Mass for the prayers and general reading. And then sometimes I just watch the Mass in awe and say things like In sprito tuo , amen, and agnes Dai etc when they come up… I kinda know the mass pretty well and sometimes don’t want to do all the flipping - ruins the vibe many times. :)
I have the first edition of this book. It’s a 1937 and autographed by Father Lasance. I can’t find anything online about autographed first editions of this Missal.
I personally prefer the New Roman Missal, the New Missal for Every Day, My Prayer-Book, Our Lady Book and My Lord, My God, My All by Father Lasance, the St. Andrew Daily Missal and the Carmelite Missal over the 1958 Missal, the 1962 Missal, the Interim Missal and Christian Warfare.
The Fr Lasance Missal sucks. There is no table of contents, it is difficult to find feast days, etc. Not an easy Missal to use, I wasted my money. I ended up tossing it in the garbage and bought a Angelus Press Missal.

How sad that you disposed of this nice piece of work that is used and enjoyed by the masses! You could have left it in a Catholic church with a note to anyone who could take it and enjoy it to the fullest!
Though a number of coincidences I found myself moving to Cincinnati from California in 1987. Previously to that move my father (a non-Catholic--a "holy roller" as he called his faith and who was baptized in the Big Sandy River in Kentucky) had given me a prayerbook that Fr. Lasance had written (a book that he picked-up among someone's leavings in a box at a flea market in Youngstown, Ohio). I glanced through the book and--besides the obvious prayers and service of the R.C. church---was impressed with various observations of Fr. Lasance about life and people that "rang so truth to me." When I moved to Cincinnati (at a low-point in my life). I began attending Old St. Mary's in the Over-The-Rhine district of the city. I was astounded one day to learn that Fr. Lasance had been a priest at this parish in his youth--having said his first mass there. Over the eight years I was in Cincinnati, I visited the Archdiocese archive and read his letters and visit his tomb in a mausoleum in the Price Hill district of the city. He was truly suffering saint and at times over the past 36 years since then, and especially at times of doubts of my faith, I've prayed for his intercession. I live in Europe now and a member of a Church of England parish, but I feel blessed that I've had these past encounters with Fr.. Lasance--although I he died one year before my birth.
Where do you get the calendar from?? You explain how to use the missal the best. Thank you. Also I was going by the dates but apparently it is not always the case.
Thanks for this, I just have some important questions. Firstly does this missal have any hymns or chants in it at all? Because I heard the Kyriale is missing all together. Also with regards to holy week, is it still possible to still use the Father Lasance. I know since 1955 there were some changes. How big were those changes and could someone still get by somewhat? Is there a way around this little issue? Are these in the father Lasance: - Rosary - Stations of the cross - other devotional prayers Finally, the father Lasance is one of the most expensive to buy especially since im in Australia. What is the main reason why I should buy the Lasance over the others? I just want to invest into One Missal and not worry about buying another one.
@@RMB1208 I ended up getting one too. I feel some pages have a printing that is very light, and I am wondering if I should try to exchange it. Does your copy have any issue like this? It is pretty much still legible but I am wondering if this is to be expected. I still find it to be the best Missal. I love everything else about it.
My husband just bought mine and these videos you do are super helpful going to take me time to get used to using it and really be in tune with the liturgical year and help deepen my faith! Thanks and God bless you
Thank you @celychannel for the kind words: I am happy that I have been able to help. I am even more happy to hear that you have found the Traditional Latin Mass and that you and your husband are focused on trying to get more out of it. God bless, you.
From Our Lady Help of Christians in Garden Grove, California. 2022 will be the last year since the Priest who put it together died shortly after completing it. 😞
Blessings! Question: I'm confused about where to get the epistle and Gospel for days without a Saint to celebrate. Example tomorrow June 3rd has no Saint listed in the proper of Saints and just skips to June 4th. Is there a special section or proper for the non Saint weekdays?
I believe those are known as Ferial days. They typically use the Epistle and Gospel from the Sunday before. So if the Third Sunday of Advent just passed, the readings for that ferial day could be taken from the Third Sunday of Advent.
Additionally, those ferial days could be used to commemorate a particular devotion that is suited for such a day. For example, The feast day for the Sacred Heart of Jesus could be commemorated on a ferial Friday since Friday was the day Our Lord was crucified. The Epistle and Gospel readings as well as all the other propers for the Sacred Heart of Jesus feast day would be used.
Edition is probably the wrong word (that I used) to describe the missal. There is only one edition and it is a reprint of the original. They recently did a new production run of the missal that made some physical improvements to the publication. I outline those changes in the video. The text is exactly the same, though. Does that help/make sense?
@@nationundergod7558 I actually got it at a local book shop. Do you want me to buy one for you and send it? It was $65. Email me at calendar@rmbps.com and we can coordinate.
The "Father Lasance" Missal has a couple of things against it. One, and this is only cosmetic, the "gold" on the page edges runs off if it gets wet. Two, this version, like all of the Missals that are reprinted by the SeVacs, contains the pre-1955 Holy Week.
I agree with your observation about the gold on the pages, although, I do find on this newer version that the gold is a little more resilient. I did want to make a distinction for anyone reading the comments who may not be as well informed as you are regarding your comment about pre-1955 Holy Week. I am not entirely sure if the publisher of this missal is sedevacantist; but, it is worth noting that a fair number of indult groups have returned to the pre-1955 missal. This is noteworthy (and I think the reason you pointed this out is) because if you try to use the Fr. Lasance Missal during Holy Week where they use the 1962 missal, it will be very difficult to follow. Thanks for watching.
@@RMB1208 I have no first-hand knowledge, but I have heard that a year or two ago the FSSP was given permission to use the 1955 Holy Week but had to include the 2008 Prayer for the Descendants of Jacob AND the "flectamus genua."
I bought my copy of the Fr. Lasance Missal a few months ago. I love it. I'm told the only "problem" with it is the Holy Week section which is not used in the Latin Mass today, but that's okay with me. I can use my old missals from 1960 (Saint Joseph) and 1961 (New Marian) for that week. The Fr. Lasance missal has everything to do with the Mass in both English and Latin including Epistles, Gospels, tracts, secrets. etc. My old missals only have the Mass in Latin/English but not the Epistles, Gospels, etc. Even the prayers after Mass are in Latin/English in my Fr. Lasance (even though they are said in English in my church). I never follow the advice on the ribbons, I just use them the way I always have - my way. By the way, the gold (or red) page edges usually get spotty from entering and exiting church using holy water to cross yourself. I find If I carry the book pages down it avoids all those drips that cause the spots.
I was told by a pre-vat 2 Catholic gentleman I met recently that he knew a church back in the old days where the priest could whistle through a low mass in ten minutes!
