    This video was so helpful! Thank you! Ive been lost returning to mass after 3 decades as a Protestant.

    I think that Magnificat is how I started my journey in the world of breviaries. Basically, a gateway drug.

    Another great review. You got me off the fence and I've subscribed! I appreciate you.

    Does it have the ordinary or even propers in Latin? I want a missal for the 1970 missal as well but I don’t want a large one I’d have to carry around (sometimes I carry my daily office with me to pray before Mass too). Sometimes I may go to the Novus Ordo in Latín and I want something thats small but also has the Latin ordinary to read. I’d use my TLM one but the prefaces and the Eucharistic prayers can be different.

      @@ConvincedCatholicism I looked at one sample online and it had certain parts in Latin (Gloria, Creed, Sanctus, Agnus Dei). I also am unsure if I’d attend the Novus Ordo in Latin regularly anyways but it’s good to know it’s mainly for English mass. Thanks for your reply!

    I like your channel. I am considering conversion and your video on the compact St Ignatious helped me buy my first Bible! Also it’s helpful to know what
    Books and resources are out there. Don’t mind my channel name I’m a horror movie UA-camr lol 😂

    This breviary is excellent. I love the art essays and cover commentary as well as the saints bios and meditations. I haven been trying to sing prayers and hymns in Latin and it is great they have the words along with translations. The app has recordings of hymns so that is really useful for someone like me who does not know how to read music. I understand why the book protector would be helpful but the covers are so beautiful it would be a shame to cover them. Thanks for this review!

    Ahhhh ok! I found it :).
    There a publication just like this for people that follow TLM. It follows the old Roman Rite of 1962.. it’s called Benedictus.

    This was more an infomercial for Magnificat than an objective critical review. I will always pick up a copy if they are free at church. The artwork is always beautiful and the "Saint Who" always enlightening. For the daily office I use a breviary like Divine Worship: Daily Office. The hymns in Magnificat are long and don't grab me, even when I read them like a poem. There's a pervasive "modernism" to this magazine, like their version of the "Glory Be" that omits the "Be." I don't know anyone who recites the prayer the way it's printed in Magnificat. Bishop Barron is on the leadership board and contributes frequently, so depending on whether you're a fan of his may sway someone to subscribe. On that note, I would take Magnificat over This Day that boasts Fr. James Martin. I love how commenter Yaxomoxay described it: a "gateway drug" to a real breviary. If it succeeds in doing that, I'm all for it.

      I figured I would make this known to people who somehow did not know about it already. I would say this is more "broad church" than traditional or progressive. It is meant to appeal to a wide array of Catholics.

      @@ConvincedCatholicism You succeeded there. A more daunting undertaking would be convincing people to get rid of old issues! I know a number of subscribers who admit to having stacks of Magnificats since they are so beautiful and printed on that nice creamy paper--they just can't toss 'em out like they would a two-month-old Reader's Digest! 🙂

    i know this might sound silly, but i bought off a whole year's worth old copies of Magnificat, then i used it once in a while whenever i don't have enough time to pray the full office on my busy weekdays. Like Magnificat lots.... loads of extra reading material and articles to better appreciate daily saint commemorations and masses of the day

    Because these are monthly “magazines” … there’s temptation to throw them when a new one arrives.. but I find it impossible because of the beautiful artwork and the inside paper (creamy and delicate). It almost feels like an insult to just toss them in a trash can.

    • @ConvincedCatholicism
      @ConvincedCatholicism  8 місяців тому

      The Benedictus Magazine advises you either donate them or burn them considering they have sacred prayers. The Magnificat has no such suggestion as far as I can tell.
