2018 Magnificat Advent Companion App Giveaway!


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of the year once again! The awesome folks at Magnificat Magazine have sent me 2 iOS and 2 Android Advent companion apps to give away to the lovely readers of this blog! That's the app, not the physical booklet.

No, I don't get paid for any of this and, no, I don't gain anything out of this. This is simply a giveaway for you faithful readers.

Normally, I'd use Rafflecopter for these giveaways but there was some shady business that happened last time I used them so we're going to do this a bit old school.

Here are the instructions:


  1. To enter, leave me a comment on this blog (with a way to contact you if you win), send me a tweet (@MelissaCeciliaG), or leave me a comment on the blog's FB page.
  2. You can enter once a day from now until November 30th at 8 a.m. PT.
  3. If you want additional entries, tweet the link to this giveaway (and be sure to include me -- @MelissaCeciliaG -- so I can see the tweet) or share the link from the blog's FB page onto your page (make sure the privacy setting for the shared link is public). I'll give you two additional entries per day (per social media platform) if you do this. That's 4 more entries per day if you share them on both.


That's it.

I'll be putting all the entries in two little jars -- one for the iOS app entries and the other for the Android app entries -- and I'll randomly select the winner in the afternoon of November 30th. I'll even post a video of the process so you guys can see that I did it fair and square.

And, that's it for now. I have two blog posts coming up that aren't giveaway OR article related that I really want to share. I'll schedule those for next week so there's no post overload for y'all. It's been a while since I've shared anything of substance and there are two amazing things that have happened lately that have been too good not to share. 😉

I hope you're all having a lovely Thanksgiving Day weekend!

Don't forget to enter the giveaway by the 30th!

As always, thanks for reading and God bless! 😊

Is there any chance I can ask some follow up questions about the Rosary Novena from the previous comment? I'm sorry to have to ask on this post but we are getting close to the end of the first part and I've tried to do it as best I could. (I hope that Heaven is willing to accept what I've offered despite myself.I don't think I've always done well with praying the prayers right. My mind needs to be wrestled it seems when concentrating on something sacred.And the issues I previously mentioned have a knack for rearing their ugly heads. Thankfully though I've made it this far(With resistance from the universe mainly coming from me.) and I intend to see this through to the end. I just want to make sure that when it comes time to pray the thanksgiving part of the Novena, that I do that well.I haven't always kept the words the same with the intentions/requests I've made. They are not drastically different, the gist has remained the same, but the words and some parts were expanded upon. I wondered for the past weeks if its okay the way I've been doing it and have been taking it on faith that Heaven knows my needs and what I'm trying to say even when I don't know it. I also was worried that at one point I missed a Hail Mary. I don't know if I did or not, but I was worried that I'd presented only nine roses so after finishing the Rosary for the Novena, I prayed an entire five decades of the Rosary offering it for The Lady's intentions and apologizing. (Since I was I in doubt as to whether I did or not, I didn't repeat the whole thing over again as I didn't know if that would be proper or not.) And just this evening I may have missed the St. Michael prayer. I think I did pray it, but just thinking back on it made me doubt I did. Now, as I write this I don't think so.I ask what you would advise.Thank you for the instructions on the blog. I know I'm not exactly the smoothest of instruction readers. (based on my previous questions) I know you're busy and have things going on in your life to do as well, so thank you again for taking the time for the readers of this blog. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving Day weekend too!
