MAGNIFICAT OFFERS CONTENT, APPS FOR FREE

Dear MAGNIFICAT Family,

During these difficult times, we all continue to look for ways to remain close to Jesus, his Blessed Mother, and his Church.

In addition to its online edition, MAGNIFICAT is now offering complimentary access to its iOS and Android Apps throughout May. To register for free access in English, visit www.magnificat.com/free. For free access in Spanish, visit and register at www.magnificat.com/gratis.

We are also happy to make available complimentary access to MagnifiKid. Visit www.magnifikid.com/free to view and download each weekly booklet of our colorful Sunday missalette for children ages 6 through 12. While so many children are missing formal religious instruction and are unable to attend Mass, MagnifiKid! can be their special guide, accompanying them through each week as they prepare to attend Mass or watch it at home.

It is our hope that everyone will take this opportunity to pray with MAGNIFICAT in union with the Church each Sunday and weekday.

Please pray with us for a speedy and safe end to this time of difficulty in our world.

Sincerely in Christ,

Romain Lizé
President

Below is a suggested prayer of spiritual Communion.

Jesus, really present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar, since I cannot now receive thee under the sacramental veil, I beseech thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the Immaculate Heart of thy most Holy Mother, and to abide with me, thou in me, and I in thee, in time and in eternity. Amen.

FORMED OFFERS PLATFORM FREE FOR 40 DAYS

This is a difficult and unprecedented time for all of us.

As Catholics, we are suddenly faced with our parish doors being locked and limited access to the sacraments. This can be very disheartening. Now more than ever, we must hold fast to the great virtue of Hope.

In the words of Pope St. John Paul II “Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ.” We must open the doors of our hearts to Christ and trust in the Lord who will give us everything we need.

In an effort to assist Catholics everywhere, we are opening our doors to make the FORMED platform free to everyone for the next 40 days. Sign up today and get immediate access to the best Catholic movies, faith formation videos, audio talks, and great children’s videos.

If you are a parent with children home from school, make sure to utilize our faith formation curriculum. If you are already a FORMED subscriber, please consider sharing this opportunity with your friends and loved ones.

Click here to access FORMED and connect with your faith via iOS, Android, desktop, connected TV (TVOS and ROKU) or XBOX.

As we are gathered together in our homes, this can be a tremendous opportunity to watch something as a family that will inspire hope and remind us all that the Lord will provide for us even through these difficult times.

Pray for us. We are praying for you.

— The FORMED Team
