This is the most beautiful devotional magazine I've ever seen. There are original meditations for prayer, fine essays, and inspirational prayers. The essays on the lives of the saints are wonderful and written for the layperson. The sacred art is faithfully reproduced.
The entire publication is fantastic and shows a level of devotion to detail that you rarely see in periodicals today. In an age of "People" magazine and other crass material, this gorgeous magazine stands out like a beacon.
This is absolutely a perfect gift for any Catholic. The Amazon price is fantastic. I was not able to find it cheaper anywhere else, although if you go to the publisher's main webpage (just search for Magnificat on the web and you'll find it) you can order a subscription for a longer period and the per-issue price goes down. You can get up to 50% off the cover price if you renew in advance for 4 years on the publisher's website. That's extremely reasonable for such a beautiful magazine. So if you know that you are going to continue to love this magazine, I would recommend renewing directly from the publisher so you can save some money.
I am sending gift subscriptions to at least three family members this year.
HIGHLY recommended.
