Old Catholic Missal & Ritual for the Sui Juris Churches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798335089951)

For every priest, deacon, minister, seminarian, and laity striving to preserve the timeless beauty of traditional Catholic worship-this is more than just a book. This is your altar companion, your ritual anchor, your liturgical lifeline.

The Old Catholic Missal & Ritual for Sui Juris Churches, lovingly prepared by Most Rev. Dr. Gabriel O. Obiano, D.D, is a reverent return to the sacred rhythms of the early Church. Drawing deeply from apostolic tradition, this work offers a complete, structured, and inspiring missal for communities in the Old Catholic tradition-especially those operating under their own ecclesiastical jurisdiction (Sui Juris).

This missal isn't simply a reprint or a reproduction. It is a revitalization.

From the opening pages, you're welcomed into the sacred moments of the Mass with all its incense, solemn prayers, and holy silences. This book was written for ministers who desire depth, for communities hungry for reverence, and for the people of God who long to see the altar once again as the very throne of grace.

• ✅ Liturgically Rich: Fully detailed Mass order with Eucharistic prayers, chants, seasonal variations, and more.

• ✅ Pastorally Grounded: Rites for the sick, blessings, and sacraments are thoughtfully explained and prayerfully constructed.

• ✅ Authentic & Apostolic: Faithful to the Old Catholic spirit of continuity with the early Church.

• ✅ Perfect for Sui Juris Churches: Tailored for autonomous Catholic bodies preserving tradition in unique jurisdictions.

Whether you're presiding at the altar or praying quietly at home, this missal is your companion in sanctity, structure, and sacred mystery.
