Roman Missal

The Roman Missal is a collection of prayers and instructions used in the Roman Catholic Mass. It outlines the structure of the Mass, including Biblical readings, prayers, and rituals. The Missal guides priests in celebrating the Eucharist, ensuring consistency in worship across the Catholic Church. It has undergone revisions, most notably after the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, to make the liturgy more accessible and engaging for the congregation. Essentially, the Roman Missal serves as the essential book for Mass, facilitating the spiritual practice and communal worship of Catholics worldwide.
