acpress commented on the word missalette
A missalette is an abbreviated missal, a "small missal," usually publised on a periodical basis, for example, monthly or quarterly. As with a missal, a missalette provides more or less complete texts used in a typical Catholic Mass, including Scripture readings and various prayers, even hymns and other songs. Here's a sample sentence: The missalette used in our church has all four Eucharistic Prayers.
