Let the writings of St. Francis of Assisi help you to meditate on the Way of the Cross of Jesus Christ. You can continue right where you left off if you get interrupted because this app would save the last station you meditate. For your reading convenience you can adjust the font size. Tap an image to enter full screen, pinch to zoom and tap it again or swipe it to dismiss. Change the language of the content between English, Italian, French, and Portuguese right from within the app or from Settings app. If you prefer to, you can hide or show the prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be) displayed at the end of each mystery. Please pray for holy souls in Purgatory and also for me as I continue to develop Catholic apps. ## Key features - St. Francis of Assisi meditations - Save progress by station - Adjustable font size - Image zoom and full screen - Multiple language support - Toggle prayers ## Recent user reviews (10 of 44) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/via-crucis-catholic-meditations-on-the-way-of-the-cross-by-st-francis-of-assisi/id431498615/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Perfect for daily or weekly use *2026-07-15* I have been using for over 10 years and love it! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-05-30* Purchased believing it had audio format available.
