missals
Catholic worship guides
Missals are books containing the prayers, readings, and instructions for celebrating Mass in the Catholic Church throughout the year.
The singular missal serves as a liturgical guide for priests and congregations: She followed along in her missal during the service.
Historically, illuminated missals were among the most beautifully decorated medieval manuscripts.
