Rediscover the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Mass of the Ages. This richly- illustrated introduction to the Latin Mass for readers young and old provides a thorough sampling of Latin text from the missal with English translations. It also provides a look behind the veil of what we can see with our eyes, depicting the meeting of Heaven and earth at each Mass, as Pope Saint Gregory the Great stated: “The heavens open and multitudes of angels come to assist in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.” The beauty of the language, the reverent movements, and the salvation made possible through Jesus’s penitential offering to the Father are all depicted lovingly within these pages.
For those unfamiliar but curious about the Latin Mass, this book can ease them into experiencing it without feeling overwhelmed. Even if you’ve only attended the Novus Ordo, the knowledge of the Latin Mass you’ll get from this book will deepen your understanding of the Novus Ordo. For children who can sit still but need help to be fully involved at the Mass, Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus will guide them along visually and verbally.

Beautiful, captivating
This beautiful book was incredibly captivating for my 3 youngest and held their attention for most of the High Mass. Highly recommend!

Good for adults, too!
The illustrations are beautiful! If an adult were using it to follow the Mass, I wouldn’t think they were using a children’s book. Love the hardcover!

Beautiful
This book has such beautiful illustrations and is a great first childrens missal. My 8 year old loves it. I wish the prayers of the Mass were played out more consistently in the book to avoid confusion though.

The 1st Holy Communion children loved it.
Thank you for this beautiful book.

Beautiful illustrations and good for kids ready to follow along in Latin
We love the artwork in this book. Even my oldest likes to have this one during mass for the artwork. The Latin is printed first and easier for him to read and follow than the "grown-up" missals. This is a good missal for kids who know some Latin and are ready to follow along.

Very happy with these!
Very happy with this purchase. My daughters are having a much easier time following the mass (ages 10 and 8) only thing that would’ve made it better would be adding in some Sundays (the gospels, epistle, etc)

It’s really an abbreviated missal…
I bought this book thinking it was just going to be beautiful pictures that some of the younger ones could look at during mass, but it’s actually got a lot of the mass prayers in it, both Latin and English. Like full length prayers, not simplified versions of them. Bc it’s more like an actual missal, I gave it to my 9yr old who hates using missals or any sort of books during mass. I’ve tried all sorts of children’s missals, and mass instruction type books (i.e. “know your mass”), he’s a strong enough reader that he could even use an adult missal, but he won’t use any of them. Now, He doesn’t hold this one all the way through or anything, but when he recognizes a parts of the mass he grabs the book to look for it. He really likes the Latin in it too. I do kinda wish there were more prayers in it, but I would definitely recommend it for any older child that doesn’t like a standard missal. The pictures in it are much more engaging than what is usually found in a child’s missal.

Perfect for young children!
We bought this for our almost three year old, who’s not interested in board books anymore but wants a missal with pictures for mass. This is perfect! It has beautiful illustrations that are clear and simple for little ones to follow along with. I love the translations so I can read it to him later and he can understand more of what’s happening in the mass - thank you!
