This new ritual resource, commonly known as the "Book of the Chair," is authorized by the United States Bishops' Committee on Divine Worship and approved by the Vatican. It provides the priest with all the prayers of the Mass that are not prayed at the altar in a volume that is lighter and easier to handle than the full Roman Missal. At roughly half the thickness and weight of our award-winning Roman Missal, the WLP edition retains all its best features: beautiful full-color art from the Vatican Apostolic Library; large, easy-to-read type; unsurpassed music engraving; durable parchment-colored pages; and an elegant stamped leatherette cover. Three high-quality ribbons are provided for easy place holding.
