For Catholics, the iPad just became a bit holier.
Yesterday, Jorge Panayotti released “St. Josemaria for iPad” ($14.99). A part of EB Solutions’s “Catholic Applications,” the St. Josemaria app is quite beautiful and useful.
This app includes The Way, Furrow, The Forge, Christ is Passing By, and, my favorite, Friends of God. A number of prayers and prayer aids come with the app as well.
Frankly, this seems to be exactly what Catholics should be doing with new technology. Indeed, EB Solutions is providing a model of what we should do—through Grace—to sanctify the products of the world and of man.
EB Solutions also produces the “Holy Rosary Deluxe,” “Divine Mercy,” and “Angelus Deluxe” apps.
The Imaginative Conservative applies the principle of appreciation to the discussion of culture and politics—we approach dialogue with magnanimity rather than with mere civility. Will you help us remain a refreshing oasis in the increasingly contentious arena of modern discourse? Please consider donating now.
We hope you will join us in The Imaginative Conservative community. The Imaginative Conservative is an online journal for those who seek the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. We address culture, liberal learning, politics, political economy, literature, the arts, and the American Republic in the tradition of Russell Kirk, T.S. Eliot, Edmund Burke, Irving Babbitt, Paul Elmer More, Wilhelm Roepke, Robert Nisbet, M.E. Bradford, Eric Voegelin, Christopher Dawson, and other leaders of Imaginative Conservatism.
Brad, Great that you mentioned this new IPad App, but I remember when Winston purchased the IPhone App, he could not wait to have another avenue to read St. Josemaria's writings. Both are excellent for Catholics living their faith in the world.
For those who do not know of St. Josemaria, I recommend visiting http://www.josemariaescriva.info/
Also, one of the unique functions of the St. Josemaria App on both the IPad and IPhone is the plan of life…for most people their lives are busy and when can you think of prayer or God in the middle of a work day…the plan life assists one to integrate your prayer in all that you do, all day, everyday, wherever you may be…Thanks for sharing this latest news.
