This APP is the BEST I have found for listening and reading for both the Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year❣️ I love how I can read along or just listen. It also has Catholic answers to many questions we are asked, on a regular basis. And every time I open it, it tells me Good Morning Wanda❣️

This Lenten program is amazing. It covers every aspect of my person and my spiritual and physical journey through Lent. I highly recommend it. It is not too late to reset your Lent. Also I love how there is a place to record my daily notes for daily readings- a beautiful Lectio Divina style of hearing God speak to me through the daily gospel.

I’ve been reading the Bible and catechism since the series came out. It feels like the books been written different every year based on what’s happening in my life. I truly don’t feel worthy most days, but also profoundly loved🫶🙏
