Pray Through the Season with the Magnificat Advent Companion App

The Magnificat companion apps for Lent and Advent are excellent seasonal prayer aids. The 2024 Magnificat Advent Companion app is now available, and it's loaded with daily prayer features and bonus content. The app costs only $3.99 and is available in your favorite app store, for both iOS and Android devices.

 

Why use an app for prayer? Precisely because your phone goes where you go — and this way, you bring your prayers with you. When you get a few quiet moments this Advent, you can pull up the Magnificat Advent Companion app on your phone and spend the time praying instead of scrolling on social media. 

 

I love the cover image on this year's edition, and it's displayed at the top of the daily features index, as you'll see in the picture below. Taking a moment to ponder that image before praying quiets my mind on a busy day.

 

 

 

• Morning, Evening, and Night Prayer for each day, based on the Liturgy of the Hours
• Mass readings and prayers for each day
• Daily Advent meditations by a variety of Catholic authors

 

If we do not learn to look for him now, his arrival could indeed cause us to be dismayed, perplexed, and frightened. Advent affords us a grace-filled opportunity to rediscover the joy of watching and waiting for him. Attentive silence and prayer in Advent prepares us to joyfully receive the Good News. (Father David Barnes, reflection for the First Sunday of Advent 2024)

 

Don't miss these extras:

• Advent chants with audio
• Blessings for your Advent wreath, Nativity, and Christmas tree
• O Antiphon prayers (December 17-23)
• Advent Stations (a set of seven meditations on Old Testament events that reveal how God prepared the world for the coming of the Savior)
• Lyrics to traditional Christmas carols
• The Order of Mass, including all four Eucharistic Prayers
• Spiritual Communion Prayer
• and more

Accessing the Magnificat resources through an app allows you to select the size of the type for the readings and prayers, and you can even set reminders for Morning, Evening, and Night prayer. 

 

If you prefer a print edition, the Magnificat Advent Companion is available for $4.99 — but don't wait, because the print edition sells out quickly!
