Saint Steps vs Epistula

Break the cycle. Build virtue. Become free. Saint Steps is a Catholic formation app designed to help men overcome pornography and rebuild their lives through discipline, truth, and grace. Instead of relying on willpower alone, Saint Steps gives you a structured system that trains your mind, strengthens your habits, and restores control. Built on the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, the spiritual exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, and modern psychology through a Catholic lens, Saint Steps is designed to reforge your mind, heart, and soul. Developed for men who are serious about change, Saint Steps combines daily formation, behavioral psychology, and proven spiritual practices to help you break the cycle for good.

Why Saint Steps works: • Built as a system, not motivation. You don’t need to guess what to do each day • Combines Catholic truth with proven psychological principles of habit formation • Designed for daily use, helping you build temperance through consistent action • Focuses on transformation, not just behavior control Whether you are trying to quit pornography, regain control of your life, or build real discipline, Saint Steps gives you the structure and direction most men never have.

Epistula is an upper room for Catholics: a quiet place to pray, write and walk with others in the faith, across countries and languages. KEEP A JOURNAL THAT BECOMES A BOOK Five practices, one for every hour of the day: - Verse of the day: start the morning with Scripture. Free for everyone. - Lectio Divina: read a Gospel scene slowly, until one word stops you. - Visio Divina: pray with a great painting, one detail at a time. - Pray with a photo: hold up someone, or somewhere, you carry. Your photo is encrypted on your phone and only you can see it. - Examen: end your day with God. Write or dictate, and every entry becomes a page in your own book. WRITE LETTERS Slow conversations with people you walk with. Letters travel by dove, by boat or on foot, and arrive when they arrive. PEN PALS Send a bottle to the sea and let a Catholic somewhere in the world find it. SHARE THE BEAUTY OF THE ORDINARY A feed for the small, holy moments of daily life, with no noise and no ads. BRING THE QUESTIONS YOU CARRY A forum to ask, answer and think together about the faith. HOLD SOMEONE UP IN PRAYER Pray for others. EPISTULA PLUS Epistula is free to join.
