    Hi, Jeff. Could you tell me a bit more about Liber Brevoir. I read the description of the book, but hard to tell the difference from Graduale Romanum and Gregorian Massale which I already have.
    Thanks, Mia

    Hi, Mia.

    My understanding is that it has all the essentials, but is cheaper.

    My old priest had one and loved it!

    The Graduale Romanum includes weekday Mass propers for saints' days; the Gregorian Missal does not include these, except for a few major days.

    Similarly, the Liber Usualis includes weekday Mass propers and parts of the Office; and the Brevior does not have either.

    Don't forget that the Liber usualis does not always match the Graduale for 1962.
