Little Way: Catholic Prayer
Pray for Others, Every Day
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Little Way is a Catholic app for loving others through prayer and small sacrifices, in the little way of St. Thérèse of Lisieux: small things done with great love.
PRAY FOR STRANGERS, AND THEY PRAY FOR YOU
The Chapel holds real intentions from people around the world: a mother before surgery, a marriage in trouble, a baby on the way. Pray a Hail Mary for one, and it blooms as a flower in their bouquet. Ask for prayer for someone you love, and the whole Chapel prays. When someone you prayed for prays for you in return, it comes home to your own altar as a gift.
OFFER SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE
Give up sweets for a few hours, or complaining for the afternoon, and offer it for a soul in the Chapel or for someone you love. Each little fast is kept on your honour, for a person by name, and laid in their bouquet.
LOVE AT HOME, ON PURPOSE
Choose small kindnesses for the people you live with and offer them to Our Lord for them: a kiss when you come home, your full attention at dinner, a decade of the Rosary prayed together, a blessing at bedtime for your children, a call to your mother. Keep one today, or every week.
FOR THE DEAD
Have a Mass offered, visit a grave, keep an anniversary, and pray for the holy souls at the shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows.
YOUR DAY, PRAYED FOR OTHERS
Set the times you keep with Our Lord, each carried for the people you love: the Morning Offering when you wake, the Angelus at noon, a Rosary in the evening, the Examen before sleep. Little Way rings each time and opens the prayer. If you like, the apps you choose can pause during these times (uses Screen Time; optional, with Premium).
SACRED ART, MADE BY HAND
Each shrine in the Chapel is kept by sacred art made by human hands: old masters such as Murillo, Bloch and Zurbarán, and living Catholic artists who share their work with the Chapel.
THE INNER ROOM
A school of mental prayer in seven doors, the way the saints taught it, and Gospel scenes to pray from inside the story, carrying the people you love. End the day with Compline, the Church's night prayer.
EVERY DAY
• One virtue to grow in each week, carried to the nightly Examen
• Sacred chant playing softly while you pray
• The Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet
• Story of a Soul in daily readings
• The Gospel of the day, from the Douay-Rheims
• Preparation for confession that stays on your device
• In English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese
Free to pray, with no ads and no streaks. Premium adds the pause for your chosen apps and every room of the Inner Room.

HIGHLY recommend if you want to take your prayer life to the next level!! There is a free version, but I have found this app to be worth the price. Love the beautiful visuals, the way it makes me slow down and the tools it provides for connecting with the Lord in prayer from morning to night. I am so grateful that this tool has been effective in praying for not only my close, personal intentions, but also gives me the opportunity to pray for people and groups around the world. It has helped me practice meditative prayer and allowed me to learn more about my faith and where the Lord is leading me.

The intention and thoughtfulness of this app is completely mind blowing. Not only is it beautiful to use, but it is so comprehensive and filled with little treasures that I probably haven’t even discovered yet. LittleWay has truly enriched my spiritual life and breathed new life into my journey. One thing I would love to see is an option to add your intentions or the day’s Little Way in a widget so I can keep it front and center. Thank you so much for this app. It’s truly a work of art and a work of heart.
Developer Response Thank you — reading this was a genuine gift. "A work of art and a work of heart" is exactly what we pray Little Way can be, and to hear it has enriched your spiritual life and breathed new life into your journey means more than we can say.And good news on your idea, on both counts. There's already a Daily Intention widget you can add right now — long-press your Home Screen, tap +, and search "Little Way" — it keeps your intention and the day's virtue front and center. You've also inspired our next update: a dedicated Today's Little Way widget that shows the whole daily virtue you're carrying, exactly as you pictured. It's on its way.Thank you for praying with us — and please know you're held in our prayers, too.God bless,Carter · Little Way

I am seeking to be at peace with the divine will of God. I have difficulty with obidence and often see prayer as robotic chore. A priest I am working closely with continues to bring up St thresese. I found Little way a while scrolling on Facebook. When I open my phone now, I’m drawn to click Little way and I see my promises and see each step as a flower. And I know I am planting in good soil. Little Way is truly helping little by little. I see a what I can offer souls humbily.

2.0 Oct 16
THE GALLERY — the Inner Room, Gospel-first
“And it was heard that he was in the house.” — Mark 2:1
The Inner Room now opens on today’s place in the Gospel. Every scene is a door named for where it happened and in which book — Capharnaum · Mark 2, Cana · John 2, Tiberias · John 21 — and a door’s threshold shows the passage’s first words, cited, before anything else.
• THE GOSPEL, PRAYED FROM INSIDE IT — a corridor of lit doors at the top of the hall: the Paralytic (free, always), the Wedding at Cana, the Shore Fire, the Sun and the Moon, the Morning Watch. Read the passage, then step inside it, carrying the people you pray for.
• TODAY’S GOSPEL GROWS A DOOR — on days the Mass reading is one of the scenes, the daily Gospel offers the house it happened in: read the plaque, then pray it here.
• THE DOVECOTE — a place in the Little Souls for those who keep a little time with God each day. Ten minutes, nothing vowed. Enter at the First Door’s close; your emblem, the bell for prayer, and Teresa’s four lines wait in the hall and in Settings.
• THE SCHOOL OF MENTAL PRAYER, named under every Gospel door on Home and Interior — and, once every door is walked, the way back to any of them.
• The Chapel’s Vigil now offers the Paralytic to those who carried others tonight, with the souls you prayed for on the mat; returning a prayer through the Inner Room carries the one who prayed for you straight in.
• Tiberias has its plaque. The Over My Heart widget opens today’s Gospel. Small fixes to the Prayer Shield and the Home rows.
1.3.1 Sep 9
THE INNER ROOM — a school of mental prayer
“But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber.” — Mt 6:6
This update opens the Inner Room: guided mental prayer in the way of the saints — Teresa, Francis de Sales, Ignatius — prayed slowly, by candlelight, in rooms painted for each mystery.
• THE SEVEN DOORS — the school’s whole method, taught one door at a time. The First Door is free, forever.
• THE SCENES — enter a Gospel mystery carrying real souls with you: the Paralytic (free, always), the Wedding at Cana, the Shore Fire, the Sun and the Moon.
• THE MORNING WATCH — the hour before the day, kept with Him.
• COMPLINE — the Church’s goodnight: her night psalms, her hymn, and the Salve Regina. Pray it at your own pace, or let it be sung whole by the Harpa Dei ensemble in the Night Choir.
• THE PRESSED BOOK — the thought you carry out of each prayer, kept like a flower pressed in a book.
• Home now proposes the hour’s own door — morning, evening, and night.
Also in this update: the Divine Mercy Chaplet’s opening prayers now follow the traditional order, the Prayer Shield re-arms itself more reliably in the background, a Share Little Way button in Settings, and fixes for bouquets and stability throughout.
• Device Sync - Using iPhone and iPad will keep in sync.
1.3.0 Sep 4
Your prayers come home together. When several souls have prayed for you, their gifts now arrive as one gathered bouquet — every flower blooming in turn, every one named. Touch a flower to see who it was from. One Amen receives them all.
Walk among them again. In your Treasures, the flowers of everyone who has carried you can be revisited any time — every flower, every name — to see again that you are loved.
Love meets you at the door. When a prayer has come home for you, Home now says so the moment you arrive — no digging, no missing it.
A quieter, clearer Home. The Garden is now a front door with three rooms behind it — Your People, the Chapel, and your Treasures — so each day's call stands out and everything has its place.
Take Heart. A new door in the Interior tab for the nights prayer is hard — with the saints who found it hard too. Free, always.
Give a year. You can now give Little Way to someone you love — a Confirmation or First Communion sponsor gift, an RCIA welcome, or simply because. Find it in Settings.
See every theme properly. Appearance is now a full catalogue — each theme with its own painting of St. Thérèse and a true preview of the app in its colors.
And many small graces — the Chapel named over the souls it sends, gentler heroes, truer words throughout.
1.2.9 Aug 14
On a feast, the saint of the day is given room. Their words now settle into the Home hero at a size that fits them — Thérèse keeps her place, and nothing runs past the edge.
• Your novitiate remembers what you have already done. If your own intention is already in the Chapel, or tonight's examen is already gathered, the day is kept — you are never asked for a thing twice.
• The Divine Mercy Chaplet now prays with St. Thérèse — one of her reflections before every decade, wherever you begin it.
1.2.8 Aug 3
WHEN SOMEONE PRAYS FOR YOU, YOU'LL KNOW
Entrust an intention to the Chapel, and when a soul stops to pray for you, a quiet word now arrives — and opens straight onto the flower they left. And when a soul in the Chapel is close to being forgotten, the Chapel itself will gently ask if you can carry them.
A LITTLE GUIDE
Ever unsure what to do next? A gentle map of the whole practice now lives behind three quiet doors — a whisper on Home shows newcomers the way, and the Guide stays where you can always find it. No tours, no pop-ups; just the map, when you want it.
ALSO IN THIS VERSION
• Whom to Carry — the Church's own intentions join your bouquet beginnings: the Most Forgotten Soul, Priests & Missionaries, a Soul Far From the Faith, Someone Hard to Love, the Persecuted Church, the Sick and Suffering — each with its own prayer, in the Church's own words
• Walk the nine days again — professed Little Souls can begin the Novitiate anew, any time; your first profession is never rewritten
• Prayer Circles — the gardens you share with family and friends are now called Prayer Circles
• The Chapel keeps the hours — incense rises over the votive wall, and the room breathes with the day
• Day 3 of the Novitiate now teaches where each flower lives once it is given
• Your words stay yours — a witness never leaves the app without your permission
• Home now offers one thing at a time — a quieter, clearer welcome
• Many small graces and fixes throughout
Never a streak, never a debt. If you set the app down, it will simply be glad to see you.
1.2.7 Jul 31
Your Novitiate — nine days with St. Thérèse. Learn the Little Way as she lived it: what a flower truly is, how it is thrown, the hidden beads, the Chapel — and on the ninth day, her Act of Oblation. Free, always. It begins from your Home screen, or anytime in Explore.
And when you place someone in the Chapel, you no longer have to carry them alone. Name one person who prays — a friend, your mother, whoever comes to mind — and ask them. One Hail Mary is the whole ask, and they can pray for your soul right from the message, without downloading anything.
• Complete the nine days and be professed as one of the Little Souls — choose the virtue you will carry, and receive the Little Flower into your bouquet.
• Ask one person to pray with you, the moment you place an intention. Their prayer lands in that soul's bouquet — and you will know when someone came.
• Every flower now teaches its meaning — on the picker tiles, in the Chapel, and in the new Language of Flowers guide. A violet rose joins them: the flower of the humble ask, which cannot be kept. It is laid on a soul.
• Read for free: the first three days of Story of a Soul and the first Little Way in Practice teaching are now open to everyone.
• Finished The First Roses? Your novitiate now begins right from the completion card.
• After graduation, a weekly invitation on Home — one hidden act each week, in the virtue you carry.
• Sacred Music now fills the screen on iPad, and reading is more comfortable there throughout the app.
• Gentler invitations: the Rosary's Mystical Rose ask now rests between appearances instead of returning after every rosary.
• Many small graces: the Chapel's own light when you place an intention, buttons that no longer cut off long names, a smoother Home, clearer Treasures, and fixes throughout.
1.2.5 Jul 29
Sacred Music, grown into a library. The chapel now holds 140 tracks of sacred chant — Rosaries, the Divine Mercy chaplet, vespers, and music for keeping vigil — with a new home for your beloved pieces.
Today's Little Way widget. The day's virtue arc, right on your Home Screen — a reader asked, and we listened.
Also in this release: reliability and polish throughout, so prayers, receipts, and renewals are counted faithfully.
1.2.4 Jul 25
Sacred Music has come to Little Way.
A treasury of sacred chant — the Salve Regina, the Kyrie, the Rosary of the Nations, and more, sung by Harpa Dei — now waits to accompany your prayer. Begin a chant in the chapel, let it carry through a Rosary or the Divine Mercy Chaplet, or simply rest in it. It plays gently across the whole app and on your lock screen, so you can pray with the screen dark.
You can now pray the Rosary in Latin, too, following each prayer along as it's sung — beautiful beside the chant.
We've also smoothed things out: the app fits your screen at every text size, and the prayers you offer land more reliably, so every rose is counted where it should be.
1.2.3 Jul 24
See the prayers you carried bloom.
When a soul you prayed for has their prayer answered, you'll now find it in Blooms You Carried — the strangers you quietly carried in the Chapel, and how God answered them. You were never praying alone, and now you can see it.
Tell the souls who carried you. When your own prayer is answered, it's easier than ever to share how — a witness that reaches everyone who stopped to pray for you, and joins the wall of Prayers That Bloomed.
Divine Mercy, for the one on your heart. The Chaplet now keeps your intention in view — a name, a need, held close through every bead, just as the Rosary does.
Plus clearer, more readable type throughout and a handful of quiet fixes.
"I will let fall a shower of roses." — St. Thérèse
1.2.2 Jul 23
Praying for one another gets richer in this update.
• Pray the Rosary for a soul in the Chapel. The intention picker now brings forward the souls most in need of prayer — and while you pray, a tap on the dedication reveals their intention in their own words.
• Offer it up, straight to the Chapel. The quick offer sheet has a new "From the Chapel" row, so a small offering can land on a real intention that's waiting for prayer.
• Pick up where you left off. If you step away mid-Rosary or mid-chaplet, a small bubble now waits quietly in the corner to bring you back — wherever you are in the app, including the Chapel.
• Decade meditations now show in full — no more cut-off reflections.
• Sharing the daily quote now shares the whole moment. "Her heart on this" — Thérèse's own heart on the day's verse — travels with the quote, on the card and the page your friend opens.
• A prayer to begin with. New members now close their first day by making the Little Way Offering — one prayer, made once, over the little things of the days ahead.
• Polish throughout the Chapel and smoother full-screen prayer views.
1.2.1 Jul 21
Praying for others just got more company.
• Chapel: after you pray for a soul at their shrine, you can now invite
someone who loves them to come pray at their side.
• Your Intentions: each intention now has a gentle way to invite family
and friends to add their prayers to yours.
• A new milestone on Home marks the souls you've carried in the Chapel —
tap it to return to the Vigil.
• Shared links now arrive with a single, clean preview.
• Small fixes and polish across Home and the Chapel.
1.2.0 Jul 15
This update is for everyone who found the app hard to read.
• Little Way now follows your iPhone's Text Size setting everywhere in the app — including the largest accessibility sizes. Adjust it in Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size, or just for Little Way under Per-App Settings.
• Text throughout the app is brighter and easier to read, on every theme.
• The Bold Text and Increase Contrast settings are now honored.
• The Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Stations, and novena prayers all scroll gracefully at large text sizes — no more cut-off prayers.
• Home has been refined for larger text, from your bouquet cards to the Chapel of Intercession.
• In the Chapel of Intercession, offering a Mass, Holy Hour, or Candle for someone now appears the moment you offer it — in "This bouquet contains" and on their bouquet itself, just as it does on your own.
If anything is still hard to read, write to us from Settings → Contact — we'll fix it.
1.1.9 Jul 14
This is the largest update Little Way has ever received.
PRAYER SHIELD (Premium)
Pause your distracting apps behind a prayer. When you reach for one, a soul who needs prayer is waiting: one Hail Mary, and your apps open. Return to the app to watch a lily bloom for every prayer you offered. Turn a scroll into an act of love.
THE VIGIL
The Chapel of Intercession is now a candlelit vigil. Six shrines: the High Altar, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Therese, the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, and Our Lady of Sorrows. Every intention is a votive candle; the neglected burn low, waiting for you. Tap a candle to pray.
ASK, AND BE PRAYED FOR
- Place your own intention at a shrine and receive word when strangers pray for you
- Post updates to everyone who prayed, and mark the day your prayer was heard
- "Prayers that bloomed": a wall of answered-prayer testimonies
- When someone prays for you, pray back for them, and see it when your prayer comes home
THE UNASKED GRACES
At Rue du Bac, Our Lady spoke of graces no one receives because souls forget to ask. A new treasury of fifteen graces, each with a verified traditional prayer that asks it.
A MORE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE WAY

1.1.8 Jul 9
WHAT'S NEW
The biggest update since launch — new ways to pray, a calmer home screen, and a beautiful fit on iPad.
Pray as a family
The new Family Examen is a gentle bedtime rhythm for parents and children — name the day's small graces together, pray for one another, and carry a saint's holy card into the morning. A simple way to form little hearts in the Little Way.
A new guide in Explore: Fr. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange
One of the Church's great spiritual masters now helps you discern your "predominant fault" — the one root habit whose healing changes everything — and keep a quiet monthly account of how the fight is going. Thérèse's Little Way, given a firmer spine.
The Rosary, right on your home screen
Today's mysteries are now a single tap away the moment you open the app — no digging required.
Made for iPad
A refreshed full-width layout and a centered reading column make the whole app feel at home on the larger screen.
A daily rhythm from day one
Setting up the app now lets you choose your morning time and gentle reminders, so the Little Way joins your day from the very start.
Plus Apple Watch reliability fixes, more of St. Thérèse's own words throughout, and the usual polish.
— — — — —
SHORTER VERSION

• iPad — a refreshed, full-width layout that finally feels at home
• Daily rhythm setup — choose your morning time and reminders during setup
• Apple Watch fixes, more of Thérèse's own words, and polish throughout
1.1.6 Jun 6
Follow the Mass
A page-by-page walkthrough of the Traditional Latin Mass. Each step names what the priest is doing, his interior disposition, and the theology beneath the action — drawn verbatim or in tight paraphrase from Lasance, St. Andrew's Daily Missal, and the 1962 rubrics, never invented. Posture cues for the layperson on every page, with pastoral notes where parish practice meaningfully varies.
1.1.5 May 4
The Home has been refreshed.
Today's Little Way greets you first when you open the app:
a virtue to live, a small act of love named for tomorrow,
and the people you've promised to carry. A daily reading
from Thérèse waits beside today's Gospel.
Also new:
• Be Still, a one-tap practice for moments of temptation
• Liturgical gold on feast days
• A gentler look for your gardens
• Small visual refinements throughout
1.1.4 Apr 29
Small refinements to the short prayer screen. Each prayer now rests on a soft, breathing surface so its tappable nature is clear from the first moment — tap it as many or as few times as your heart needs. The invitation sits above the prayer so the rhythm reads at a glance, with little petals rising for each one offered.
1.1.3 Apr 23
A new Surrender step in the nightly Examen, between Offering and Tomorrow. A quiet place to ask Where is God asking me to let go? — a worry, a grip, a plan you're holding too tight. In keeping with Thérèse's Little Way.
1.1.2 Apr 22
Be Still
A short prayer practice for moments of temptation or interior agitation. Pairs a guided breath with a rotating pool of classical Catholic prayers, and ends with an optional hidden offering for a specific soul. Built around the Theresian image of Jesus asleep in the little barque.
My Carmel
A private, on-device list of souls you carry in prayer. Includes a new Commend to the Father ceremony for gracefully completing a season of intercession when the storm has passed.
The Confession Bridge
For seven days after confession, the nightly examen surfaces one focused formative prompt tied to the specific matter you confessed. Rooted in St. Ignatius's particular examen. Your responses are never stored.
Expanded Confession Prep
21 Catechism citations added as tap-to-expand explanations for prompts using technical Catholic terminology. Plus a Find a Catholic Church button and a new Named, not weighed teaching card on the distinction between naming acts and judging persons.
Why We Cannot Sit Still
A new three-teaching Explore arc on acedia, rash judgment, and charitable correction. The first teaching is free.
Weekly Invitation, with a carrying state
The Home card that offers one Theresian commitment per week now persists through the week instead of disappearing after you commit to it.
Siri Shortcut and Control Center Tile for Be Still
Invoke the practice with your voice or a single tap from anywhere on your device.
Plus new daily teachings on custody of the tongue, additional intention suggestions for the nightly examen, a growing pool of Theresian aspirations, and dozens of small refinements across the app.
1.1.1 Apr 22
Version 1.1.0
What's new:
- Onboarding rework — Your first bouquet now creates a prayer page others can join. After planting your intention, you can invite someone to pray with you right away.

practical act for the day. Tap to read the full teaching.
- Feast-aware prayer — Your Morning Offering, Examen, and Rose Journal now surface the day's feast when one falls, weaving the liturgical calendar into your daily rhythm.
- Feast notifications — Opt in to receive a gentle 7 AM notification on the seven feasts Thérèse held dear. Enable in Settings under Feast Days.
- Pin bouquets — Swipe right on any bouquet to pin it to the top of your list. For the intentions you carry every day.
1.1.0 Apr 16
What's New in 1.0.5
Prepare for Confession
A new mercy-centered examination of conscience guided by St. Thérèse. Walk through eight areas of your life with prompts personalized to your state of life, or
simply reflect from the heart. Includes a step-by-step confessional guide, two Acts of Contrition (traditional and Theresian), and post-confession thanksgiving
prayers with Psalm 103. Your examination never leaves your device and is erased after absolution.
Holy Week
Good Friday now displays the complete Liturgy of the Presanctified — the Readings, Solemn Intercessions, Veneration of the Cross with the Improperia and Crux
Fidelis, and Communion from the Presanctified. Palm Sunday and other Holy Week propers also display correctly.
Chapel of Intercession
- Flower summary updates immediately after offering a rosary or prayer
- "See all" now shows the correct number of active intentions
Notifications

1.0.5 Apr 7
What's New
Your Bouquet Has Bloomed
When your Chapel of Intercession intention completes after seven days of prayer, a celebration card now appears on your home
screen. Tap "See the roses" to watch the flowers that were offered for your intention shower down — each one representing a real
prayer from a real soul.
Save to Treasures in Heaven
Bloomed bouquets can now be saved to your Treasures archive. A lasting reminder of the prayers that carried you.
Pray for Those Who Prayed for You
A new reciprocal prayer loop throughout the app. After your bouquet blooms, you can start a personal bouquet for "The souls who
prayed for Mom" — praying back for the strangers who carried you. This action appears across the Chapel of Intercession, Prayer
Pages, and Gardens.
Contributor Acknowledgment
If you prayed for someone's intention and it bloomed, you'll receive a gentle notification with a St. Thérèse quote honoring
your hidden act of love. The Bloomed tab now shows a "You prayed" badge on intentions you helped carry.
Garden Bouquet Offerings
Garden members can now offer a bouquet for everyone in their garden. When offered, an anonymous announcement appears in the
garden feed: "A soul in this garden offered a bouquet for all of you." The act stays hidden. The love doesn't.
