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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Follow the Mass A page-by-page walkthrough of the Traditional Latin Mass.

Posture cues for the layperson on every page, with pastoral notes where parish practice meaningfully varies.

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

Small refinements to the short prayer screen.

The invitation sits above the prayer so the rhythm reads at a glance, with little petals rising for each one offered.

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.
