## What is JesuitPrayer?

JesuitPrayer is your one-stop shop for Ignatian Spirituality on the go. The founder of the Jesuits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, created the Spiritual Exercises to deepen our relationship with Christ and to move our contemplation into service. Ignatian spirituality reminds us that God pursues us in the routines of our home and work life, and in the hopes and fears of life's challenges. In collaboration with the Magis Center for Catholic Spirituality and Loyola Press, JesuitPrayer offers daily scripture, Ignatian reflections, and prayer to anchor your day and strengthen your resolve to remember what truly matters.

I had a friend at work 10+ years ago recommend this app. It has been a daily read ever since.  The way the content is structured has improved my faith journey.  Try it out and enjoy the journey.

Part of my daily prayer for several years now. Very grateful for so much inspiration over so many years.

*2025-09-08, version 2.4*

I have been happily using this app for a long time. Over the last couple of weeks, however, I sometimes get a blank screen when I open the app. Please fix this. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Great except…

*2025-08-26, version 2.4*

Love This app for my daily morning readings… The only downside is every couple days. It keeps crashing and I can’t open it and I have to delete and re-download. Wish they could fix this bug.

### 5/5 — Awesome help!

*2025-02-09, version 2.4*

Am to Ignatian Spirituality and am so excited to dig deeper and learn more. Did my first weekend retreat at Monserrat at Lake Dallas two weeks ago a great sense of calm and relief swept over me immediately. Such a huge blessing.

### 5/5 — Daily inspiration

Reading the scripture and Ignation prayer starts my day.  Centers me for all I do

### 5/5 — Soul Food

*2024-10-23, version 2.4*

I love the simplicity of the app but it always has a strong message. Most of all I love how it connects readings to modern day situations. I always feel a spiritual tool to start and/or end my day.

### 5/5 — 80 years old and a prodigal son

*2024-09-10, version 2.4*

After I return to refresh my Jesuit education of more than half a century ago I find that I have many old habits to break, new habits to form, and this app is amazingly helpful.
