Testimonies from Mariangela Bertolini, Chiara Amirante, Sister Monica Bano, Anna and Massimo La Veroni, Mariagrazia Labbate, Luigina and Luciano Navone, and Carla Zichetti bring new meaning to the MAGNIFICAT for our time in this 45-minute video. You can purchase it at specialty shops or order it directly from the publishers.
The MAGNIFICAT is the canticle of hope and joy proclaimed by the Virgin Mary when she met Elizabeth. Today it remains one of the Church's most beloved prayers. The commentary is by Angelo Comastri, Pontifical Archbishop Delegate of Loreto. In this video, he guides us through the Basilica of Loreto to the small house of Nazareth, on whose steps are imprinted the footprints of millions of pilgrims who have come to kneel and praise the Lord. As his words unfold, you find yourself walking the same path—from an outer reality cluttered with confusion and difficulty to silence, trust, and praise. The moving testimonies deepen and confirm Archbishop Comastri's reflection.
Archbishop Comastri also comments on the AVE MARIA. This prayer—so tender and so naturally close to our hearts—weaves together the words of the Annunciation with our own words of invocation and faith. It gathers our daily devotion into one. The contributors include Chiara Amirante, Sister Monica Bano, Don Oreste Benzi, Anna and Massimo La Veroni, Mariangela Mazzarotto Bertolini, Giuseppe Soffiantini, and Clara Zichetti.
These are two videos that kindle hope and, with it, joy. We warmly recommend them to our readers.
