And on the subject of beauty...
...if you don't subscribe to Magnificat, you really are missing out. This is a monthly spiritual feast - Morning and Evening Prayer for each day, glorious art to relish and commentaries and explanations linked to it to ponder, the texts of the Mass readings and prayers for each day, and fascinating stories of saints and heroes of the Faith to read...and more. It is pocket-sized, arrives every month by post, and links you with the whole Church in prayer. It is a pleasure to use and handle - the paper is creamy,thinly textured and has lovely print in red and black - and it is well produced so that it won't disintegrate when you use it day after day. Just relish it.

Any bright ideas as to what to do with the old ones? Apart from booking a tour of a mosque and leaving them in the loo ...
I leave my old copies deliberately on trains or Tubes. I do the same with Catholic papers and booklets. People are always keen to read anything they find.
If you don't want to commit to a subscription iniotially, you should be able to buy an individual copy in any good Catholic bookshop (like St Pauls by Westminster Cathedral!) Some parishes make copies available for weekday Massgoers and to use at Adoration etc. Why not persuade YOUR Parish Priest to do this?
