all the help…

Jul 18, 2017

If you are anything like me you need all the help you can get to stay focused on the beauty of the presence of Jesus Christ alive and active in the midst of daily demands and circumstances.

Around the world in many languages people are praying with the Magnificat booklet. I have been using it now for several years and especially appreciate the attention to beauty and detail as it presents the readings of every Mass of the month, morning, evening and night prayer, daily reflections and a few quality articles and works of art each month,

Magnificat is published monthly and available both in hard copy and on App.

You can subscribe by tapping on the images below. Note that if you are in NZ, Australia or the UK you will want to check the “other English speaking Countries edition,” #3 on the subscription form.

There is also MagnifiKid for children and you can send Magnificat as a gift subscription.

The question surprised me and the look in the young boy’s eyes let me know that he wanted more than a religious-cliche-response. I took a moment to think, pray, and think again and was surprised at the answer that came to me.

Such wise people have reflected on their life experience enough to know that while a peaceful and perfect day is welcome, we are most connected with others and therefore with God (we could also say most connected with God and therefore with others), when we live a struggle together.
