Lectionary for Mass, Classic Edition: Volume IV

The Classic Edition Lectionary delivers a refined reading experience through thoughtful design choices. Featuring a single-column layout with 13-point Cheltenham bold type on cream-toned paper, it prioritizes legibility for extended liturgical use. Two-colour printing distinguishes rubrics from scriptural text, while sense-line formatting and generous line spacing reduce eye strain during proclamation. Authorized for weekday use from Ash Wednesday 2002 onward, with mandatory adoption from Pentecost 2002, this edition accommodates the full New American Bible translation across all liturgical occasions—from common saints' masses to votive and funeral rites. An essential resource for parishes seeking durability and clarity in a manageable format.
