Rite of Baptism for Children (Bilingual Edition) (Roman Ritual) Hardcover – January 1, 2011

The binding and printing is first rate. It's easy to read when leading the liturgy, and it'll definitely stand up to the occasional wetness it'll receive when I perform a baptism. The Spanish on the left page and English on the right page was definitely helpful during the bilingual baptism I celebrated last weekend, as I could switch between the two languages effortlessly at the appropriate places. The only minus I encountered is the sometimes problematic places at which they break pages; sometimes the heading for the next section will be on one page, and the actual blessing or prayer will be on the next page, which isn't visible yet. There are also a few places where the widows and orphans can cause difficulty with the flow.

As a clergyman, this ritual book has been invaluable to me when administering the Sacrament of Baptism in either English or Spanish. The book is nicely laid out for easy use during the Rite. This is a great improvement over the Spanish-language edition which was cumbersome and difficult to read. This edition also includes one ribbon marker. Because this ritual has yet to be published using the new and (in my opinion) vastly superior translation in English, I found it useful to paperclip-in on the English side certain parts that were updated, such as the Blessing of the Baptismal Water.

Contains material that I use in my Baptism preparation class. Helpful for teaching parents the specifics of the rite.

Just what i wanted. I will be doing a lot of baptisms when I get to Mexico and this Rite weill be of great value to me. The right side of the page is in english. Thanks.

Perfect just what I needed ! Don't have to carry two books it's all in one!

Good stuff
