  • Here is a beautiful pamphlet I found in my library. This is useful for those who are seeking to help those who are not traditional Catholics to understand the Sacred Mysteries of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, or for those traditional Catholics who wish to attain to a clearer understanding of the Holy Mass by reviewing these simple and beautiful notes.

  • That was really interesting.
    Stir up within Thy Church, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the Spirit with which blessed Josaphat, Thy Martyr and Bishop, was filled, when he laid down his life for his sheep: so that, through his intercession, we too may be moved and strengthen by the same Spir

    No, I don't have the requisite software. My hope is that someone who does may do such a thing and make the PDF file available here for all to enjoy.

  • Maybe if enough of us beg, someone will oblige.  I would love to have a copy, too.

  • Print double-sided and then fold all pages in half.
    If you're using Adobe, it helps to have "print full sized" selected.
    Only 5 sheets of paper, but I'd print pages 1-2 to test first.

  • I know we're not supposed to discuss these Library posts. What I have to offer is two
    observations
    that go along with the booklet.

    First, it's a little ironic that a booklet that was intended for "non-Catholics" in 1942 is
    now appropriate for "new order Catholics" in 2012. This means that in the course of
    70 years the majority of Catholics have become, as it were, non-Catholics.

    Second, if this file was made most useful for the purpose of printing booklets, it
    would be set up to make two-sided prints on 8-1/2 x 11 sheets, divided in half,
    making a booklet of 5 x 8-1/2, folded in half. A booklet of this format has 4 pages
    per leaf. You can have a 4-page booklet, or an 8-page booklet, 12-page, 16-page,
    20-page, etc. Each leaf comprises 4 pages. So this would be a 20-page booklet,
    with pages 19 and 20 blank. The images for each page should be aligned so that
    on the reverse side of the leaf (sheet of paper) the two images are exactly opposite
    the two images on the front side of the leaf.

    The first leaf would have page 20 on the left half of the leaf, and page 1 on the right;
    on the reverse side it would have p. 2 on the left half and p. 19 on the right half.

    The second leaf has p. 18 on the left half and p. 3 on the right half; on the reverse
    side it has p. 4 on the left and p. 17 on the right.

    The third leaf has p. 16 on the left half and p. 5 on the right; on the reverse side it
    has p. 6 on the left and p. 15 on the right.

    The fourth leaf has p. 14 on the left half and p. 7 on the right; on the reverse side it
    has p. 8 on the left half and p. 13 on the right.

    The fifth leaf has p. 12 on the left half and p. 9 on the right; on the reverse side it
    has p. 10 on the left half and p. 11 on the right half.

    When you've printed all 5 leaves, you fold them over in the middle and then
    staple the fold, or sew it with needle and thread, each stitch at least 1 inch long
    between needle piercings. Sewing is actually better. The best books have sewn
    bindings. Finally, trim the perimeter to make the pages all neatly aligned, and you
    have a real booklet, about 5-1/4" x 8-1/4". If you want it to be really durable, you
    can laminate the first leaf before binding, or else just cover it with strips of clear
    packing tape, perhaps folding the edges of the tape over the leaf edges so that all
    the outside corners of the booklet are protected from wear due to handling. This
    simple tape method holds up for 30 years or more, depending on the quality of
    the adhesive and the material of the tape. If you choose to laminate, I suggest
    trimming the first leaf about 3/16" all around, so that your finished size will be
    same as the interior pages, but you will have an eighth inch of laminate beyond
    the paper edge, to keep the laminations intact, or less likely to separate with use.

  • Neil, did you look at the file I attached?

    I'm not sure it meets your exact specifications (I left pgs 2 and 20 blank), but it's close.
