10 Apps for Lent

(Note: These are NOT the apps in the video)

Normally I would save this type of post for Tuesday Tech Talk, but since we are already in the second week of Lent, I thought I would post it today. Technology, properly ordered, can be a useful tool that can help you enhance your Lenten season. Here is a video from Catholic@pps highlighting 10 apps that can aid you this Lenten season. (They review each of these apps in greater detail on their site.) Maybe you just haven't been able to find a way to get into the swing of things this Lent. Here is my list of resources from last year.

Here is a listing of the apps as they appear in the video:

• My Year of Faith
• Catholic Sermon
• The Pope App
• Steubenville
• Fighter Verse
• Mea Culpa
• Catholic Meditations for Lent by Thomas Aquinas
• John Paul II (eVotions)
• Lighthouse Catholic Media Bible (Promo Code: 102318)
• Magnificat Lent Companion

Tuesday Tech Talk: Lenten App

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent. Today, I am recommending Magnificat's Lenten Companion available to download at iTunes for 99 cents.

The Magnificat Lenten Companion application is built to work on iPad and iPhone. The application is organized in a day-to-day format. Modeling the Liturgy of the Hours the app includes opportunities to pray morning, evening and night. It also contains the daily readings and prayers. Additionally, it contains a number of other Lenten practices, including the Stations of the Cross.

Download it now so you can have it ready for tomorrow.
