Liturgical Books

Liturgical books are specialized texts used by clergy and religious communities during worship services and religious rituals. They provide the structure, prayers, readings, chants, and instructions necessary for conducting various ceremonies—such as Mass, baptisms, or weddings—according to specific traditions and practices. These books ensure that services are consistent and meaningful, guiding participants through the correct sequence of events and spiritual expressions. Examples include the Roman Missal, breviaries, and lectionaries, each serving a particular purpose within the liturgical life of a faith community.
