The "Roman Catholic Daily Missal" is $15 more expensive than the St. Andrew's, which I already own. What would you say to persuade me to buy the new missal as well?

This new missal is completely retypeset. The layout is quite clear, more clear than the St. Andrew's, which I used at one time as well. It has more prayers, is easier to follow, and is more user friendly - all the way down to the fact that the cover is flexible and sturdy, and the binding extremely elastic yet strong.

The ordinary of the mass has little "reminders" so to speak, on the outter gutter of each page, which really lift one's mind to God: explaining in brief the true, beautiful symbolism of the Holy Mass.

It also hosts all the rites for all the Sacraments, a myriad of litanies, blessings, etc. - even the Gregorian notation for the Kyriale! I really can't imagine using any other missal now..."$15 more" pales in comparison to what you actually get in return for purchasing this one of a kind work of art.

I hope that helps....
