Daily Readings for Catholics Software

I just love this app. Not only did it provide the daily Mass readings, but it provides a wonderful commentary. What I REALLY love is the commentary. These are written by saints and Church fathers. I often find their insights to be so illuminating, thought provoking, incisive. I usually have something worthy to ponder each day. There is also something very powerful about seeing that sermons written almost 2 thousand years ago share many of the struggles we have today. Now this marvel exists in the Bible, but is perhaps not as shocking because the Bible is inspired word from an eternal God. But it is very moving to feel such a connection to Saints and believers so many years ago. It is wonderful to not just know the names and sometimes life stories of certain saints, but to actually read their words and feel the power in them.

I find this app so enriching and inspirational as it offers you the Church’s daily scriptural readings along with the reflections of Holy people throughout the ages. The reflection and commentaries are from people the Church has recognized through the ages as being worthy of being exemplified as they put the Word in action in their daily lives. On occasion the reflection may not speak to me but the app also offers the Church’s saint of the day. Take time to Google the Saints Name and you will find additional enriching and inspirational reading. All this reading can be accomplished within 15 minutes. If you take the time and give these passages your full attention It can become life changing as Jesus Christ comes into the forefront of your life and is no longer left in the background. Just like the Saints through the ages Jesus Christ becomes someone you begin to know rather than just read about. This app is a fine tool in helping you to become a better person who is a little more at peace, a little more present to the ones you love and more patient with the crazy things in life that can really get you worked up if you don’t have a focus on what is really important. ENJOY & MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Wonderful App that does many great things. It’s one thing to take the word and it’s another to take it and look deep for meaning for today’s world. With the commentary helping us to understand and the Saints reminding us that our toil is no different than theirs. (Ok maybe an uptick in technology—like an electronic tablet as opposed to a stone tablet) but the times they aren’t a changing and this App reminds us that their has been and always will be ONE struggle and ONE path: seek and ye shall find.
