The “Sondagsmissaal en Gebedeboek” revised edition now available

The Afrikaans Language Pastoral Region of the Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference  (SABC) has announced that the revised up-to-date edition of the Afrikaans “Sondagsmissaal en Gebedeboek” has been reprinted following the revision of the Roman Missal.

In a message to Vatican Radio’s English Service for Africa, Fr Vernon Meyer said that the missal and prayer book is a, “resource that helps Catholics prepare for and celebrate the Eucharist in their own quiet prayer space. Guiding the reader in reflection on the readings and prayers of the liturgy throughout the year, it heightens one's personal encounter with  the Lord…Anytime, anywhere..”

The first part of, “Die Sondagsmissaal” covers the three liturgical years, containing all the prayers and readings pertinent to all Sundays, major Solemnities, Feasts and Holy Days as well as the revised Afrikaans Order of Mass and Eucharistic Prayers I to IV.

The second part of the publication, “Die Gebedeboek,” includes prayers that cover the rich traditions of the Catholic faith. Time-honoured prayers like the Angelus, Morning and Evening Offerings are found alongside devotional prayers to Mary, the Rosary and the intercessional prayers to the Saints and Angels.

Further prayers to the Holy Trinity, Eucharistic Devotions, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy,  Adoration and Benediction, Novenas, Litanies and a selection of Prayer Services render the, “Sondagsmissaal en Gebedeboek” a treasury that is meant to last for years to come.
