The Magnificat Community’s small information bulletin, significantly titled “With Jesus, about Jesus, build!” came into being in the spring of 2019, at the initiative of the general leaders at that time, with the purpose of giving, on a monthly basis, a small account of what they receive in prayer to be communicated to the entire body of the Community, as well as to provide any general news that might be useful.

Since the beginning of its publication, it has been translated into several languages (today there are five: English, Italian, Romanian, Spanish and Turkish) and disseminated through the pdf format, in a widespread way, through the various chats with which in each Fraternity the leaders keep in touch with their brothers and sisters.

The following are all the issues published so far in Italian from the last edited to the first one published with the possibility of downloading them in pdf format.
