A great treasure of the Roman Catholic Church

This is the principle liturgical source for the 'Anglican Use.' For those of you who haven't heard of it, the Anglican Use is a pastoral provision in the Catholic Church that allows for an Anglican parish that converts to Catholicism to retain elements of the Anglican liturgical and spiritual tradition. Sadly, Anglican parishes seeking to become Anglican-Use-Catholic ones need the approval of the local Catholic bishop, which is almost never given. This book contains the order of mass plus all the collects (opening prayers) and secrets (prayers over the gifts) throughout the year. It also contains the order of matins and vespers and has two psalters in the back -- one Coverdale (archaic language) and the other in contempory English. The binding is quite beautiful and the text is very well set out and is easy to read. Its only real let-down is that it is very bulky and cumbersome.
