1st TLM and betwixt and between

I bought the Baronius press missal too! It is an absolute treasure trove of masses and prayers and I use it for prayer and meditation when I'm not at mass. I bought it here
http://www.fraternitypublications.com/hand-missals.html
and take extra delight in knowing that the money spent is probably being used to prepare a future priest to live outhis vocation. It is English/Latin side-by-side.
It did take a while for me to settle into the Extraordinary form as I tended to get a bit lost at first, but I used being lost to experience the mass in different ways (focus on what the priest is doing, try to translate in my head based on Spanish, praying or meditating along on one or two sentences) and really appreciate what it has given me.
Those red books were easier than my missal at first, and the print is a bit larger which comes in handy in darker churches.
Have a wonderful time getting to know the prayers-they have been an awesome source of catechesis for me and I feel that I am just beginning to scratch the surface. What an exciting time to be Catholic.

At my EF parish, they also have the white Latin-Spanish side-by-side missals, as we have a few who don't especially care for English translations.

Does such a thing exsist? Should it? Just a thought............

The Anglican Use, which currently exists, might be what you're looking for.

I read along in spanish at my local Novus Ordo mass. It gives me a different sort of entry point where focusing on the language and nuance of the translation helps me get more out of my praying.
Do you know who the supplier might be for the Spanish Latin book? Is it similair to the red book or is it a complete missal with all of the collects and propers?

It is almost exactly in the same format as the red missal and can be purchased from the same source.

I'm still looking for Latin-Spanish propers.

I will be looking for one of those missles!
Thank you!
