The editorial of the month

It’s been a full year since we stepped into the new translation of the Mass readings. Though we still have a while before we will have gone through the whole cycle of Sunday and Weekday readings in the new Lectionary, the readings for Advent and Christmas are coming around for a second pass—perhaps new elements will strike us this time, now our ears have adjusted to the style of the ESV.

As you may recall, at the time of the translation change in England, Wales, and Scotland, our edition of Magnificat had to pivot to serve just those regions, and it has been a battle to keep afloat with steeper production costs in a smaller market—so I want to thank you for sticking with us. It has been heartening to hear from so many subscribers how glad you were to have us by your side this past year, especially since the full weekday People’s Missals were delayed. Please do keep spreading the word about us; and remember, group subscriptions (10 or more) can get a discounted rate.

I wish you all a very blessed Advent, and Christmas once it arrives.
