I have now replaced my obsolete Missal with the People's Edition of the CTS New Daily Missal. It weighs 1,273g and its dimensions require, for me at least, the use of two hands to pick it up. I walk two miles to and two miles back from Mass on weekdays and would have to use a rucksack in order to transport it. The pages are filled with Latin which I will never read, the translations of the prayers so obscure I cannot pray them. In my prayer time at home I look at my icon and say to the Lord, "What on earth are we doing, Lord? What is happening?"
