approbation
The text of this reading edition was transcribed from the free EPUB that Fr. Belmonte himself set out, as the colophon tells. That EPUB carries the same text as the printed Handbook of Prayers, published by Sinag-Tala Publishers, Inc., Makati City, Philippines (2005 reprint, ISBN 971 554 196 8), by authority of the Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy, National Conference of Catholic Bishops (U.S.A.), and the National Liturgical Commission (Phil.). The front matter of the printed book bears the following declarations:
- Nihil obstat:
- Josefino S. Ramirez
Vicar General - Imprimatur:
- ✠ Jaime Cardinal Sin
Archbishop of Manila
“The nihil obstat and imprimatur are official declarations that a book is free from doctrinal or moral error. No implication is contained therein that those who granted the nihil obstat and imprimatur agree with the content, opinions or statements expressed.”
© 1986, 1988 Fr. Charles Belmonte and Fr. James Socias.
These declarations belong to the printed edition. This web edition reproduces its text by way of the author’s own EPUB, faithfully and without alteration, but has not itself been separately submitted for review. Where the editions differ, trust the printed book.
