Each Advent I look forward to using the Magnificat Advent Companion app. Like the Magnificat magazine, the app features daily Morning, Evening and Night Prayers, along with the readings and prayers for each day’s Mass and an Advent meditation. But the app also boasts features you won’t find in any print magazine, such as chants for Advent. And since it’s on your smartphone or tablet, you can take it with you wherever you go. This app also includes:
  • Journeying through Advent with Saint Joseph
  • Advent Stations of the Cross
  • Blessing for your Advent wreath
  • Blessing for your Christmas tree
  • Blessing for your Nativity scene
  • Guide to praying the O Antiphons
Launching the app brings you to the daily prayer section. Each day you will find morning, evening and night prayers that are abbreviated versions of the Liturgy of the Hours, as well as an Advent meditation and full text of Mass readings, antiphons and prayers of the day. Selecting the “Order of Mass” tab at the bottom of the Mass page brings you to an index page for a full missal, so you’ll be able to read along with every prayer during Mass. You can purchase this app through App Store (for iOS version) or the Google Play store or Magnificat website for the Android version. At only $1.99, it's a bargain: the paper copy is $3.95.
