## What is Purissima?

A moment of prayer. A life that inspires.

Purissima brings together the Holy Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the lives of the saints. Read at your own pace or listen with your device’s voices, in Spanish or English.

SAINTS TO INSPIRE EACH DAY
• Discover the saints celebrated today and browse the calendar.
• Read their biographies, feast dates and patronages.
• Search by name, patronage or place, and filter saints and blesseds.
• Save favorites or discover a random saint.
• Enable a saint-of-the-day reminder. Reminders are scheduled up to 60 days ahead and renewed when you open the app.
• With Purissima Pro, listen to biographies and keep listening with the mini player, including in CarPlay.

PRAY THE ROSARY AT YOUR OWN PACE
• Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous Mysteries, with the mysteries for each day.
• A Gospel passage and reflection for every mystery, with illustrations.
• Read and Listen modes, playback speed controls and five-second skips.
• Response mode: the app says its part and leaves a pause for your response.
• Optional Litany of Loreto and prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions.
• Pick up an unfinished prayer where you left off.

YOUR PRAYER JOURNEY
See completed prayers, prayer days and streaks. Prayer history can sync between your devices through your private iCloud account. No app account is required, and there are no ads or tracking.
