January 20, 2022At long last, after being without stock for some years, Catholic Truth Society is publishing new runs this year of Divine Worship: The Ordinariate Missal, and Divine Worship: Occasional Services. Both liturgical books, the altar missal and occasional services book, serve the Catholic Church’s Ordinariates for the Anglican tradition, and were approved by Pope Francis for Catholic worship.
According to CTS’s website, the new printing of Divine Worship: The Ordinariate Missal, is expected to be in stock April 1. The new printing of Divine Worship: Occasional Services, is expected to be in stock on March 1.
The restock of these liturgical books will greatly help expand the Ordinariates’ evangelization efforts as new and emerging Ordinariate communities, along with priests who wish to learn the Ordinariate Mass and celebrate the sacraments (with proper permissions) in the Ordinariate Use, can now obtain them in their fully updated form.
Divine Worship: The Ordinariate Missal costs £325, which is approximately $442 USD / $552 CAD / $611 AUD.
Divine Worship: Occasional Services, which includes the liturgy for Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony and the Order of Funerals, costs £50, or approximately $67 USD / $85 CAD / $94 AUD.
The Ordinariates have seen their stature grow in the 12 years since Benedict XVI established them with Anglicanorum Coetibus. The Ordinariates’ Divine Worship liturgies have also gained greater attention as the beauty of the Ordinariate Mass and celebration of sacraments is more widely known and appreciated. With increased demand, and a limited supply, those who want to secure their copy or copies of Divine Worship: The Missal or Divine Worship: Occasional Services should order now to secure their place in line.
Orders can be placed through CTS’s website. Divine Worship: The Ordinariate Missal can be ordered here. Divine Worship: Occasional Services can be ordered here.
