There's no shortage of tools offered during Advent to help you pray more, buy less, seek silence, avoid stress, and still end up with all the presents bought and the meals cooked. In the midst of the many great offerings, Magnificat's Advent app (or ebook) stands out for offering the essentials and some perks you'll appreciate.
The app has the daily Mass readings as well as modified Morning and Evening Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours.
There are also a handful of other unique resources. One is the Advent Stations, which will bring you through six stages of God’s preparation for the Coming of Christ with Old Testament readings linked to the New Testament fulfillment.
And my personal favorite is the Announcement of the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord from the Roman Martyrology. This short reading begins with creation, and with formal language, lists many of the major events that happened through history in preparation for that first Christmas night. Keep your eye out as this year Aleteia will have a special commentary on this text from the unique scientific-historical perspective of the Vatican Observatory!
