The Regal Edition of the Roman Missal, Third Edition, has been designed to ensure that every element is durable and practical—yet dignified, beautiful, and suitable for divine worship. The instruction concerning an altar missal from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments states it “should be marked by such a dignity that the exterior appearance of the book itself will lead the faithful to a greater reverence for the word of God and for sacred realities” (Liturgiam Authenticam, 120). For this reason the quality of paper and binding as well as the visual impact of vibrant, full-color illustrations; musical notations; and fonts for texts have been considered to produce a dignified altar missal.
The Regal Edition of the Roman Missal (Genuine Leather, 8.5" x 11"), a high-quality edition for solemn occasions as well as everyday use, has the following features:
**The Roman Missal, Regal Edition, was printed in 2011. This was before the name of St Joseph was included in Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV, so every purchase of this missal will include a set of stickers to apply to a specific stanza for Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV.. If you already have a Roman Missal, Regal or Classic Edition, and wish to have a set of these stickers, please let us know here.
