St. Josemaria

St. Josemaria is a spiritual-life app shaped by the teaching of St. Josemaría Escrivá and the spirituality of Opus Dei. It is built to help you weave prayer through an ordinary working day.

You follow a personalized spiritual program and get a library of resources: books, novenas, missals, the New Testament, and various practices of piety. You can build and adjust a Plan of Life, read the monthly letters from the Prelate of Opus Dei, and reach prayers to saints and blesseds. There are videos and interactive features, and you can change the font size and style to suit your eyes.

The app is clearly made for people drawn to Opus Dei spirituality. The Plan of Life and the Prelate's letters tell you exactly who it is for, and for that reader it pulls a lot of daily tools into one place.

This is a good fit for anyone already living an Opus Dei spirituality, or anyone who wants a structured daily plan with a missal and the New Testament in one app.

It costs $9.99 up front, which is rare for an app like this. The spirituality is specific, so if you are not drawn to Opus Dei some of it will not fit the way you pray. It is fully and faithfully Catholic.

$9.99, by Jorge Panayotti. Available on the App Store: St. Josemaria. Worth the price if Opus Dei spirituality is yours, or you want to learn it.
