The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (Rev. Ed.) Paperback – June 15, 2011

I bought this to get a better reference in understanding the church rubrics while in church and during the mass. I’ve only read a couple of chapters but I’m sure it’ll help me more with my understanding as I read more of the chapters.

Great for doing research, knowing the correctness of the Liturgy of the Mass, and all related topics!

For years, I kept seeing references to the GIRM and wanted to get a copy.When I saw it on Amazon.com, and at a reasonable price, I immediately bought one.Every priest, deacon, and anyone involved in the liturgical function of the parish should own a copy and read it.Plus, it is a good source for anyone else wishing to understand the liturgy better. Hmmm. I just talked myself into giving each of my three grown children a copy for them and their family to have.

I anticipate much fruitful reading of the GIRM. I look forward to its authoritative interpretation and application of Canon Law to the Catholic Liturgy. As a future priest, I desire to celebrate the Liturgy in all its beauty and power, both because it is due such reverence and because it will build-up the people of God, spiritually. I look forward to studying and implementing its contents in a prudent and responsible manner!

This is much more readable than the GIRM that is in the beginning of the copy of the Roman Missal that I have.

Very informative book. Incredibly helpful with my current studies!

With the changes implemented November 27th, 2011 this revised edition is a must for any Liturgy Committee member; or just someone who loves the Liturgy. It is written in such a way as to enlighten; giving meaning and explanation to our traditions and norms. It would also be beneficial reading to anyone considering the RCIA process; or those desiring a true unbiased knowledge of the Catholic Faith. I highly recommend it.

We are studying it at church and enjoy it.
