Hello brothers and sisters. I have recently released a prayer book app on Google Play so you
always have the prayers you need wherever you go. Its called “Prayer Book Of Light” and costs only 99 cents.
All proceeds will help me get to the Azores Portugal to help the people there by working on my fathers farm and creating a
strong faith based community for the younger generation. With the fututre forecast of the European economy
they will need all the help they can get. From there we will build more communities across the islands and eventually west
to all of Europe, with the light, the truth, and the way we can change this world for the better!
Here is the link to the Google Play page and a decription if you choose to help me by posting a link on your site or if
you want to spread the word in other ways.
Description: A refreshing, new kind of prayer book for all Christians and Catholics.
Featuring prayers for peace, children, pets and animals, for the sick and the dead and more.
Also featuring four original musical tracks (that can be muted at any time) to accompany the prayers.
Each prayer has an original high quality photograph/art piece as well.
Easy to use, each prayer is a touch away!
“A wonderful new, lost-cost app has been made available to Catholics, enabling them to take their novenas on the go.”
“The novena app has a plethora of great novenas, arranged to easily navigate based on need: health, occupations, situations, states of life, etc. You can also say novenas based on who you want to pray to, if not what to pray for. You can search for those by: angels, evangelists, holy people, martyrs and mystics.”
“And it’s more than just the great novenas so many of us turn to — and rely on — for various needs throughout life.”

Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
The Catholic Social Teaching App is a great resource for the Church’s teachings and for current commentary better explaining current society in light of that teaching.
We have created a unique Rosary App that provides the opportunity to pray the rosary with the voices we love. It is highly personal – meaning that you can record the voices of children, grandchildren, parents, friends…anyone! You have the option to playback with just one of the voices or “shuffle” to hear all of your recorded prayers/voices for you to pray the Rosary.
This has been a family labor of love…the idea and inspiration was truly a gift from the Holy Spirit. Since we are fairly new to the “App World” we would greatly appreciate any help to get the word out.
Only 99 cents with a portion of proceeds going to Catholic Relief Services.
Among the fine apps here we would like to suggest also our app called Global Catholic. It shows feeds from our website and social networking that focuses on global Catholic mission of the Xaverian Missionaries and our focus on the missio ad gentes of the Church. Our way to connect meaningfully in dialogue with those that are neither Catholic nor Christian. It is available here: http://04f001e8-f8b7-41d7-b8f6-d1880fb3d1cc.mobapp.at/landing/Desktop#.U4YdjtxdVl0
I recommend The Better Part app by http://www.rcspritualdirection.com. It gives a daily Gospel reading with a meditation and questions for reflection. I do not see it listed on this website or maybe I just missed it. It is by Fr. John Bartunek, LC who assisted Mel Gibson in the Passion of the Christ. He also has a retreat guide series that is very good. It was just picked up by Fr Barron’s Word on Fire for parish use.
I agree – The Better Part is an app recommended to me by a Priest and I’ve found it to be quite a blessing as well. It took me some time to figure out the navigation but in the end, very deep and impactful.
I would like to recommend our app from the Xaverian Missionaries, an international missionary religious congregation. The landing page is here: http://globalcatholic.mobapp.at/landing/Desktop#.U7vwLNzIa2E. Also we have a mobile friendly version of the site of our Founder, recently canonized a saint, St. Guido Conforti at m.guidoconforti.com. Thanks.
Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14)
As we approach this awesome feast of the Exaltation/Triumph of the Cross, I’d like to share a resource near & dear to my heart. This app is the result of a spiritual experience with the main intention of spreading the message of salvation.
The Passion of Jesus app is founded on the deep spiritual writings of St.Alphonsus de Liguori.This Saint and several others (St.Augustine, St.Bonaventure, St.Pope JPII etc) urge believers of the importance of daily reflecting on the Passion of Jesus to grow in grace and holiness. While this subject (passion/pain/suffering) is not something that people naturally gravitate towards, it is the foundation of our faith and the means of our salvation.
This app follows each step of the Passion over a 24 hour timeline and is available in several languages. It is currently available for iPhone & iPad (iOS 6 & 7) and expected shortly in Android.
I develop Scriptural Rosary app: http://appstore.com/scripturalrosary. The aim is to help people to meditate better while praying the rosary with the Scripture verses in each Hail Mary. Let me know if you want a free copy of the app to review it.
And more of the Catholic apps that I develop can be found here: http://appstore.com/valentrichie. I would be glad to give a walkthrough of each one of them.
Between these two wonderful Marian Feasts (Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Guadalupe), I’d like to propose a Free Marian App, Totally Yours featuring the original 33 day total consecration to Jesus through Mary by St.Louis de Montfort.
Totally Yours app (Free) – is available for both iOS and Android devices
During this season of advent, what a wonderful way to prepare our hearts for Jesus and Mary, by totally consecrating ourselves and our families. This consecration would be the most appropriate gift of ourselves to Jesus and Mary.
Your prayers for the spread of this Marian app would be greatly appreciated.
There are some very good Catholic Lenten Apps for your smartphone. Here are some in English and in Spanish. You are also welcome to let us know of Lenten apps in other languages as well.
The app found in the url above is awesome (and is completely free)! It was created by Matthew Kelley and his DynamicCatholic Ministry.
The app contains a series of 12 sessions of 6 (very short) videos each. These videos were meant for teens preparing for Confirmation, but as a seminarian who is strong in his faith and is studying to become a Catholic Priest, even I am able to receive much grace and fruit from watching these videos, myself!
In essence, this goes to show that anyone with an open heart will be enriched by these videos about our faith, no matter their age or stage in the spiritual journey.
Hello we recommend the 25Days of Advent App from Biblezon. It is a free download and is an excellent app for kids, adults and families. Please go to http://biblezon.com/advent/ for more information. Thank you Michael Hastings
Scripture Typer – Help you memorize Scripture.Verses.
You can import verses from selected versions or type/paste from any other version.
I also use it to memorize prayers and link them to verses in Leviticus which I ‘d never memorize. 🙂 In a Notes app on my device I keep a list of these prayers and which Leviticus reference I liked Jed each one to. It automatically schedules review of the verses you’ve mastered.
Christmas Tree of Kindness App began as a family Advent activity, was enjoyed in a Parish Children’s Liturgy for years and now is available for young and old to enjoy independently or cooperatively from Christmastreeofkidness.com, the Apple App Store and Google Play. All ornaments are earned by completing acts of kindness. Choose from over 30 beautiful ornaments to decorate your tree(s). When a tree is completed all will receive a star for the top of the tree and hear Christmas music and celebrate knowing that our world is a kinder place.Teachers are enjoying building classroom trees by using iPads and Smart Boards and printing and decorating classrooms. Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day and Easter ornaments are now also included as requested for more opportunities to complete trees.This App embodies kindness, can do spirit, perseverance, beauty and fun!!! We hope you enjoy playing and help make our world a kinder place one ornament at a time!!!
Hello, I would like to recommend Hallow: Prayer and Meditation. It offers audio guided sessions using a variety of prayer techniques (e.g., Lectio Divina, Christian Meditation, the Examen, Spiritual Writing, Rosary). It’s basically like guided sessions in Catholic mindfulness. Users can choose if they want a male or female voice, can download for offline listening, and can choose what length session they want (usually 5 – 15 minutes). It also has a place to journal your thoughts!
It is a freemium model. Users can access all of the above prayer types for free (which are updated every day) including Lectio Divina on the daily reading every day, and the Rosary. There are also themed ‘Praylists’ and Challenges which users can access for $59.99 a year.
ISanctuary is such an amazing app that is filled with prayers, the rosary, and even an AR church to help you feel at peace and happiness. I would highly recommend this app for new believers, as well as believers since day one and in Between. The AR church makes you feel like you are in a real church and has the beautiful Divine Mercy there. This is one of my favorite apps and I will always keep and cherish it!

The Catholic Social Teaching App is a great resource for the Church’s teachings and for current commentary better explaining current society in light of that teaching.

I was hired to build this app, but I think it’d make a great addition to your lists.
We have created a unique Rosary App that provides the opportunity to pray the rosary with the voices we love. It is highly personal – meaning that you can record the voices of children, grandchildren, parents, friends…anyone! You have the option to playback with just one of the voices or “shuffle” to hear all of your recorded prayers/voices for you to pray the Rosary.
Now on the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/record-a-rosary/id777338101?mt=8
Soon to be released for Android devices.
This has been a family labor of love…the idea and inspiration was truly a gift from the Holy Spirit. Since we are fairly new to the “App World” we would greatly appreciate any help to get the word out.
Only 99 cents with a portion of proceeds going to Catholic Relief Services.

Thanks and Blessings!
We’ve reviewed the RecordARosary app and even wrote a blog about it. Thank you for alerting us to this terrific little app.

Among the fine apps here we would like to suggest also our app called Global Catholic. It shows feeds from our website and social networking that focuses on global Catholic mission of the Xaverian Missionaries and our focus on the missio ad gentes of the Church. Our way to connect meaningfully in dialogue with those that are neither Catholic nor Christian. It is available here: http://04f001e8-f8b7-41d7-b8f6-d1880fb3d1cc.mobapp.at/landing/Desktop#.U4YdjtxdVl0
I recommend The Better Part app by http://www.rcspritualdirection.com. It gives a daily Gospel reading with a meditation and questions for reflection. I do not see it listed on this website or maybe I just missed it. It is by Fr. John Bartunek, LC who assisted Mel Gibson in the Passion of the Christ. He also has a retreat guide series that is very good. It was just picked up by Fr Barron’s Word on Fire for parish use.
I agree – The Better Part is an app recommended to me by a Priest and I’ve found it to be quite a blessing as well. It took me some time to figure out the navigation but in the end, very deep and impactful.
I would like to recommend our app from the Xaverian Missionaries, an international missionary religious congregation. The landing page is here: http://globalcatholic.mobapp.at/landing/Desktop#.U7vwLNzIa2E. Also we have a mobile friendly version of the site of our Founder, recently canonized a saint, St. Guido Conforti at m.guidoconforti.com. Thanks.
The oficial Pope App, available: http://www.thepopeapp.com on both Apple and Google Play Store, excellent content… a must.
Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14)
As we approach this awesome feast of the Exaltation/Triumph of the Cross, I’d like to share a resource near & dear to my heart. This app is the result of a spiritual experience with the main intention of spreading the message of salvation.
The Passion of Jesus app is founded on the deep spiritual writings of St.Alphonsus de Liguori.This Saint and several others (St.Augustine, St.Bonaventure, St.Pope JPII etc) urge believers of the importance of daily reflecting on the Passion of Jesus to grow in grace and holiness. While this subject (passion/pain/suffering) is not something that people naturally gravitate towards, it is the foundation of our faith and the means of our salvation.
This app follows each step of the Passion over a 24 hour timeline and is available in several languages. It is currently available for iPhone & iPad (iOS 6 & 7) and expected shortly in Android.
Here’s link to the app demo:

Between these two wonderful Marian Feasts (Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Guadalupe), I’d like to propose a Free Marian App, Totally Yours featuring the original 33 day total consecration to Jesus through Mary by St.Louis de Montfort.
Totally Yours app (Free) – is available for both iOS and Android devices
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/totally-yours/id926757945?ls=1&mt=8
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=pub:Eternal%20Life%20Saver
During this season of advent, what a wonderful way to prepare our hearts for Jesus and Mary, by totally consecrating ourselves and our families. This consecration would be the most appropriate gift of ourselves to Jesus and Mary.
Your prayers for the spread of this Marian app would be greatly appreciated.
much blessings in Jesus and Mary,
Ben

There are some very good Catholic Lenten Apps for your smartphone. Here are some in English and in Spanish. You are also welcome to let us know of Lenten apps in other languages as well.

The app found in the url above is awesome (and is completely free)! It was created by Matthew Kelley and his DynamicCatholic Ministry.
The app contains a series of 12 sessions of 6 (very short) videos each. These videos were meant for teens preparing for Confirmation, but as a seminarian who is strong in his faith and is studying to become a Catholic Priest, even I am able to receive much grace and fruit from watching these videos, myself!
In essence, this goes to show that anyone with an open heart will be enriched by these videos about our faith, no matter their age or stage in the spiritual journey.
The videos can also be watched online (completely free) at the following web address:

I would recommend the application Prayer Book+ for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/modlitewnik-+/id1070649751 (language: english and polish)
How do you access the English version?

Scripture Typer – Help you memorize Scripture.Verses.
You can import verses from selected versions or type/paste from any other version.
I also use it to memorize prayers and link them to verses in Leviticus which I ‘d never memorize. 🙂 In a Notes app on my device I keep a list of these prayers and which Leviticus reference I liked Jed each one to. It automatically schedules review of the verses you’ve mastered.

Hello, I would like to recommend Hallow: Prayer and Meditation. It offers audio guided sessions using a variety of prayer techniques (e.g., Lectio Divina, Christian Meditation, the Examen, Spiritual Writing, Rosary). It’s basically like guided sessions in Catholic mindfulness. Users can choose if they want a male or female voice, can download for offline listening, and can choose what length session they want (usually 5 – 15 minutes). It also has a place to journal your thoughts!
It is a freemium model. Users can access all of the above prayer types for free (which are updated every day) including Lectio Divina on the daily reading every day, and the Rosary. There are also themed ‘Praylists’ and Challenges which users can access for $59.99 a year.

ISanctuary is such an amazing app that is filled with prayers, the rosary, and even an AR church to help you feel at peace and happiness. I would highly recommend this app for new believers, as well as believers since day one and in Between. The AR church makes you feel like you are in a real church and has the beautiful Divine Mercy there. This is one of my favorite apps and I will always keep and cherish it!
