    Blessed John Paul II now has an app? 

    The people that brought you: Confession: a Roman Catholic App, now bring John Paul II to your iPhone or iPad.  What a delightful little app! It is full of wonderful information and pictures that will have you remembering John Paul II and forgetting that he is not physically with us anymore.  From start to finish you will be humbled and inspired by this holy man.

    The home page walks you through twelve pictures of JP II throughout his life, including a beautiful picture of him and Mother Teresa holding hands.  The Reflection page offers an introduction by the Archbishop of Denver:  Charles J. Chaput.  It also has links to John Paul’s history, his traditions and videos.  The videos are amazing:  Eight videos are linked through YouTube from the App which gives you the opportunity to listen again to his inspiring speeches and remember how is personality  and words captured an entire world. The other pages give you the opportunity for a beautiful Novena and prayers from John Paul II.  There is also a link to his writings, which sends you to amazon.com to purchase his books.

    If there is a way to sum up Blessed John Paul II in an application for your iPhone or iPad “Little iApps” has done.  Scott Hahn, Archbishop Chaput and Lisa Hendey did a wonderful job contributing on this app and is a must have for your device.  This app is also free so there is no reason for you not to download it and enjoy it.  I would gladly have paid for this app.  Let us know if you have downloaded it and what is your favorite aspect of it.

    Prayer in 3 Minutes a Day 

    Loyola Press, A Jesuit Ministry, has created an inspirational iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad app for busy Catholics on the go – the 3-Minute Retreat.  By opening this app, you are treated to a daily reflective prayer retreat wherever you are, whatever you are doing.  The spiritual retreat opens with a theme and scripture reading set to lovely pictures and soothing music.  As you proceed through the slides at your own pace, you are presented with reflective comments and questions based on the previous scripture.

    The 3-Minute Retreat app has quickly become a favorite in part due to its portability. Because it is short and on my phone, I can turn to this retreat whenever I need to spend a moment in prayer.  I use it to pray while waiting for my children, standing in line or sometimes in a quiet moment at home.

    The simplicity of the retreats offered is a large part of the spiritual success found in the app.  Loyola Press has combined beauty, prayer and scripture in a straightforward way to inspire peace and reflection in the participant.    I have been astonished at how these 3-Minutes a day spent in spiritual retreat have positively affected my prayer time.

    Visit Loyola Press to experience their 3-Minute Retreat app in English and Spanish.  It is also available directly on iTunes for the iPod,  iPod Touch and iPad.

      I agree with Lisa, this is a great App that I use daily for spiritual reflection in my busy days. I recently got an iPad2 and enjoyed that it also has a feature to see all of the past retreats and these are now offered with HD pictures. Kudos to Loyola Press for a great App.
