From USCCB Publishing, this revision of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) seeks to promote more conscious, active, and full participation of the faithful in the mystery of the Eucharist. While the Missale Romanum contains the rite and prayers for Mass, the GIRM provides specific detail about each element of the Order of Mass as well as other information related to the Mass.

Excerpt from The Church Memorial: Containing Important Historical Facts and Reminiscences Connected With the Associate and Associate Reformed Churches, Previous to Their United Presbyterian Church of North America Nor do we desire to bury all of the past. We love 'the Churches in which many of us have not only been born, but born again. They have been faithful Churches of the living God. They have contended earnestly for the truth of God. They have done good service in the cause of our dear Re deemer. And although they are now organically one, and we rejoice that it is so, yet Our hearts are full of sacred memories, and we turn with mingled emotions of joy and sorrow to the past. We remember our old ecclesiastical associations with tenderest emotion, and with the captives Of Old we are ready to say, If I forget thee, 0, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. One prominent Object in the preparation of this work was to preserve the leading facts connected with the union of these Churches. In a few years the'fathers of the Church who took an active part in these proceedings will be no more. Others will be called to carry out the principles upon which this union was formed. Various Opinions may arise as to the meaning of different acts and the design of their framers. Such we know has been the case hereto fore both in Church and State. Even the constitution of the United States is now differently interpreted; and its true meaning can be certainly determined only by the recorded sentiments of its framers. For this purpose, therefore, we have collected together the action of these Churches and the remarks on the subject of union in the different Synods, that in after years they may Speak for themselves.

The Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary includes the Missal, revised to conform to The Roman Missal, Third Edition, and its companion Lectionary. Printed in easy-to-read, two-color type, these well-crafted ritual books feature a blue hardcover stamped with the distinct and beautiful art of Martin Erspamer, OSB; silver-gilded pages; and ribbons. They provide the formularies required for celebration of the forty-six Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which are distributed across the seasons of the liturgical year (three in Advent, six for the Christmas season, five in Lent, four for the Easter season, and twenty eight for Ordinary Time). The Missal contains the euchological texts, the Entrance and Communion Antiphons, and, in an appendix, several formularies for Solemn Blessings at the end of Mass. A historical, liturgical, and pastoral introduction precedes each formulary to assist in preparation for the Eucharistic celebration.
