Your Catholic Agent From everyday activities to spiritual goals, BuildSaints helps you encounter God — prayer, Scripture, and community, grown the way you want. As introduced in Plan of Life: Daily Habits book by Msgr. Roger Landry. The core practices include: - The Morning Offering, the Rosary, and the Liturgy of the Hours - The day's Mass readings, and today's Gospel as a short film each morning - Reflections and prayers written for your own intentions, read aloud - An Examen that helps you find God's presence in your day Ask, and It's Made Everything happens in one simple chat. Say what you need in your own words: - "A prayer for my mother's surgery tomorrow" — written for her and read aloud. - "A short film on St. Teresa of Ávila" — her story and her own words. - "A reading plan on the Psalms, one each morning at 7" — it comes daily, at your time. - "A trivia on today's Gospel" — to play now or send to friends. Anything that should come every day arrives on your schedule, and you can turn it off in one tap. Ideas and Goals - Ideas — fresh ways to grow, picked for where you are: a prayer to try, a reading to start, a feast to keep, a game to play. - Goals — your spiritual goals in your own words, with a clear path and gentle tracking, never pressure. Daily Groups Start a group with friends, your parish, or your school. Each morning the day's Gospel film arrives, followed by one quick game: which line stuck with you, and can you guess what your group picked? Invite anyone with a link or a QR code — friends can join and play right away on the web, with no download needed. Events in New York A feed of young adult Catholic events across New York City, from Masses and holy hours to talks, socials and retreats, with RSVPs and short films that explain the teaching behind them. Saints You Find in Person Walk with a saint as your intercessor. Visit a partner church and scan a statue or a sacred work of art to meet that saint or devotion, then keep what you find in your collection. Going Further — When You're Ready Connect more of your life if you'd like: invest your money according to the Church's teaching, set spending habits that support your goals, or bring the people and places in your week into your prayer. These are always optional and always yours to decide — nothing is done in your name without your tap. Rooted in the Tradition BuildSaints draws on Scripture, the liturgical calendar, the Catechism, the Church's documents — including Magnifica Humanitas — and the writings of the saints, quoted exactly and cited. It never speaks for God, and never replaces a priest or the sacraments. Your reflections and personal content stay private — never sold, never shared. You choose what you connect and what you share. Free to begin — every daily practice, your groups, and your community, with a generous weekly allowance for things made just for you. A membership removes the weekly limit.
