### 5/5 — A map for the journey to Love.

*2024-02-16*

A very good guide for centering the Lenten period on getting closer to our very loving God.
An essential guide for our journey to God.

### 5/5 — An essential for a fruitful Lent.

*2020-03-15*

For many years this has been my one go-to everyday during Lent. The meditations are direct and to the point, helping me to stay the course without faltering.

### 4/5 — Helpful during Lent

*2020-03-05*

Been using for 1st week of Lent and feel it has added to my prayer life.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-03-29*

I have been using St Thomas Aquinas’s Meditations for Lent for several years. Having it in an app form with a contemplative prayer to start your meditation is a wonderful upgrade to this traditional Catholic practice. I will continue to use this as long as the app and I are viable!

### 5/5 — Traditional

*2019-03-27*

This app is extremely traditional old school Roman Catholic. This is why I find it so interesting and moving.

I left the church decades ago, but it’s bringing me back.

Not for the light reader, but definitely for the serious minded!

### 5/5 — A wonderful guide for Lent

*2019-03-27*

As usual Aquinas is amazing in his writings. The Lenten reflections are no different. I discovered these this Lent and it has greatly improved my prayer time. Also, the translation is perfectly fine.

### 5/5 — Precisely what it says

*2017-04-14*

Handily split up into sections and can remember where you were last.

Update: now lets you set reminders and more. A good update, and Aquinas still good!

### 5/5 — Lent

*2017-04-03*

I have really enjoyed this app during this Lenten season.

### 3/5 — Useful

*2017-04-03*

Overall this is a useful and convenient app for Lent. However, I find the readings rather dense and lack accurate proofreading occasionally. Overall, the content of the app seems to be stuck in pre-Vatican II. Though thought-provoking, I wish there were some practical summary after each day's readings. Will probably use it until I find something better.

### 4/5 — Good deep solid theology

*2017-03-23*

I am really enjoying this incredible reflection prayer. It and lightens my heart that we have good Catholic theologians that can still speak to the intellect the soul of a solid Christian.
