It’s called iBreviary. It’s an application that allows you to take all the prayers of the Breviary (also known as the Liturgy of the Hours, or Divine Office) with you, on the go, on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

If you’ve ever tried to take the Liturgy of the Hours with you, then your muscles must be getting pretty big by now. It’s four volumes long! Yeah, there’s a condensed version of it available, but that’s still one more thing to carry around.

I downloaded the app to give it a test drive. I have to say that I’m rather impressed. There aren’t too many Catholic apps for the iPhone (and good ones for that matter) so I’ve been patiently waiting for one to come along. This app is great because it’s so simple. It has the Office of Readings, daily readings, and common Catholic prayers such as the Angelus, Apostles Creed, and Act of Contrition, just a tap away. It’s pretty handy!

The biggest downside to this app is that the translation is a little rough. It’s obvious that the author is italian since the app is mostly in italian. Make sure you set your default language in your iPhone’s configuration panel, or you won’t be able to understand anything! But at $0.99 you really can’t complain. This is a great companion to any iPhone/iPod Touch carrying Catholic.

Think Digg meets the Vatican http://www.catholicizzle.com/2008/10/new-social-bookmarking-site-think-digg-meets-the-vatican/ http://www.catholicizzle.com/2008/10/new-social-bookmarking-site-think-digg-meets-the-vatican/#comments Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:14:51 +0000 Andrew http://www.catholicizzle.com/?p=8 Hey Catholicizzle fans! I just found out about this great, new, catholic, social bookmarking website called Pick A Fig. Now you can be in the know about other great catholic websites, blog posts, etc. Websites are ranked by user submission, so you can submit your own. The submission categories range from News, Apologetics, Technology…they’ve even got a category called “Love, Marriage, and Theology of the Body”!

I think this is a great way for Catholics to use new media to become well formed in their faith. Check it out: www.PickAFig.com.
