Publisher's Synopsis
The official New ESV Lectionary Readings for every Sunday in Years A, B & C and Order of Mass - in use from Advent 2024
The Hodder Sunday Missal provides the Order of Mass, along with the full text of each Sunday's scripture readings for the 3-year liturgical cycle.
Short introductions to every Mass help you prepare for Mass.
Extended reflections to each season of the church year.
Everybody will need a new missal this Advent with the new ESV readings.
To mark this significant occasion in the life of the Church, the Hodder Sunday Missal is now available in a choice of elegant bindings, complete with four marker ribbons to match the colours of the liturgical seasons. This Missal has been created to accompany Catholics through the rhythm of the year, and to be a spiritual companion.
It is perfect for those ready to renew their commitment to faith as well as those newly received into the Church.
Discover how using a missal can deepen your commitment to the Catholic faith; how it can draw you into a more profound experience of encounter with Our Lord, as called from by Pope Francis in his new Encyclical Dilexit nos.
