What does MISSAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A book used in the Catholic Church that lays out the prayers, scripture readings, and ritual instructions needed to celebrate Mass across the entire church year.
A missal gathers everything a priest needs to conduct Mass on any given day, including fixed prayers that never change and readings that vary with the church calendar and season. Before printing, missals were often lavishly illustrated and copied out by hand, which is why surviving medieval examples are prized as works of art as well as religious texts. Modern missals are still revised from time to time to reflect changes in liturgical practice.
