1. Magnificat
If you’ve been holding back, or even a little skeptical if you truly need a Magnificat, you can be assured that it’s worth it. This handheld, pocket-size book with sacred art on the cover, each day’s Mass readings, and thoughtful reflections is the perfect addition to ground yourself within your rule of life, especially if you are short on time. With a Magnificat, you can participate more fully in the Mass and integrate the reflections within personal prayer!
2. Benedictus: The Traditional Latin Mass Companion
Whether you’re a seasoned TLM veteran or TLM curious, the Benedictus subscription presents the 1962 Missale Romanum with continuous Latin and English text (no page-jumping required). This “Daily Mass Companion” includes morning and evening prayers, fondly known as Lauds and Vespers from the 1960 Breviarum Romanum. Benedictus is an elegant Latin alternative to the beloved Magnificat. It’s also Cardinal Burke approved!
3. Support a FOCUS missionary
You didn’t see this one coming, did you? Whether you’re looking to give alms or share Catholicism’s life-changing impact with others, supporting a FOCUS missionary can be a monthly payment that does both. Instead of a locked-in rate, it’s a freely chosen donation.
I’ve been blessed to have been mentored by missionaries, and even later, end up befriending former FOCUS missionaries in my young adulthood. During college at a secular university where the values are often anything but Christian, I learned that Catholicism is a lifestyle. Putting God first results in authentic friendship, joy, and a blueprint on how to live one’s best life. Your contributions can change the trajectory of a student’s life and help them get to Heaven.
4. Catholic Family Crate subscription box
Catechesis from home has never been more colorful, or frankly, more fun. Catholic Family Crate offers monthly “crates” that are filled with art, prints, activities, and stickers inspired by two Feast Days of the month. Teach the faith and encourage your kids’ personal prayer life through these adorable, hands-on sacramentals.
