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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Pairs a guided breath with a rotating pool of classical Catholic prayers, and ends with an optional hidden offering for a specific soul.

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.

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.

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.

What's New in Version 1.0.1 Your bouquet has bloomed. When you place an intention in the Chapel of Intercession, strangers walking the Little Way carry it in prayer for 7 days.
