The liturgical books of the Roman Rite are officially issued books that contain the words of the prayers to be recited and indicate the actions to be performed in the celebration of the Catholic liturgy as done in Rome.
To the titles of some of these books the adjective "Roman" is attached, so as to distinguish them from the liturgical books intended for use in other liturgical rites. An example is the "Roman Missal".
