I bought my first cell phone back in 1995. This was used mostly for emergencies or to be reminded by my wife to pick up something at the grocery store.

Now more 15 years later, cell phones have evolved to be “smart phones” and can do a lot more than make phone calls. They now provide easy access to email, the internet, text messaging, playing games, watching movies, taking pictures, listening to music and even downloading applications or “apps” to make things even easier. I’ll admit, we are an Apple household. We love our iPhone, iPad, iTouch, and Apple TV. It is so convenient to have access anywhere, on any device to any of our videos, music, pictures, apps, notes and email.

This week’s review is about an “app” I found called “iMissal – Catholic App”. For $4.99, you can download this “app” for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, BlackBerry, or Kindle Fire. This allows you to always have the bible, the current week’s gospel, daily meditations, prayers, Catholic News and more with you at all times and in one place! I found this “app” to be easy to use, accurate and very convenient.

Here is an overview:

Complete Missal – A complete Missal is included along with a full liturgical calendar with all the Mass Readings. Plus, you can even listen to the Mass Readings if desired!

My Daily Bread – This includes a unique bible verse for every day of the year in 3 different bible translations (NAB, NIV & KJV). You can even save your favorites or share them with your friends via e-mail or Facebook!

Prayers – A large collection of Catholic Prayers are included and sorted by category to easily find a prayer for a particular purpose or special need.

Catholic News – Catholic news and events are sent directly to you for easy access and review.

Saint a Day – For an additional charge, you can buy “Saint a Day” to learn about the life of a Saint each day and review Saint Prayers.

 

Buy iMissal for yourself and someone special as a gift for Lent or Easter and never be without the Word!
