Ignis vs Suscipe

Make room for God in your day with the Examen, Rosary, Gospel and saints. Ignis is a Catholic prayer companion for iPhone and iPad, with gentle guidance when you need it and space for your own words. BEGIN WITH A FEW QUIET MINUTES Start the morning with prayer, spend time with the Gospel, or close the day with the five-step Ignatian Examen. Clear introductions help you choose a prayer and begin. Writing is optional. PRAY THE ROSARY AT YOUR PACE Follow the mysteries with Scripture, sacred art and guided beads. Ignis remembers your mystery and bead when you need to pause. RETURN TO YOUR PRAYER Your daily prayer drafts save as you write. Continue an unfinished prayer or revisit completed sessions in History. Search your prayers and notes, with earlier entries kept as the days move on. Choose an optional daily reminder for the Examen, Morning Prayer or Gospel. FOLLOW A GUIDED PATHWAY Seven journeys offer a place to begin and a next step when you are ready: • The Spiritual Exercises — a 30-day Ignatian retreat in daily life. • Magnifica Humanitas — 30 days of spiritual reading and prayer. • Come, Follow Me — 14 days of Gospel encounters with Jesus. • With Mary, Beholding Christ — 20 days through the Rosary mysteries. • Teach Me to Pray — 21 days of prayer through the Psalms. • God in the Ordinary — 21 days with attributed readings from St Josemaría. • Poor and Free — 21 days of Franciscan prayer with St Francis. Pathways move forward when you complete a day. Pause and return without losing your journey or notes. LIVE THE LITURGICAL YEAR Discover the day's celebration and saints, with biographies, prayers and novenas. Choose from Catholic spiritual traditions, regional and religious-order calendars, and colour palettes. KEEP YOUR PRAYER PERSONAL No account is required. Your reflections, drafts and prayer history are stored on your device, with no advertising or third-party analytics SDK. Ignis does not sync your journal to an account or cloud service. The Gospel encounter, Rosary, Psalms, God in the Ordinary and Poor and Free pathways include their readings and artwork for offline prayer. Today's live Gospel and reflection require an internet connection; historical Scripture may also use online services. The Privacy Policy explains these connections. Free to use on iPhone and iPad. Ignis is an independent Catholic prayer app, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Vatican, dioceses, Opus Dei or religious orders.

Suscipe is a Catholic devotional companion rooted in the Ignatian tradition. The prayer that gives the app its name — Suscipe, Domine, universam meam libertatem — sits at its heart. THE DAILY EXAMEN Pray Saint Ignatius's five-step Examen of Consciousness in the morning to direct the day, and again in the evening to read it. Each step opens with a prompt and an invitation — Latin alongside English on every step. Close the morning Examen with the Suscipe; close the evening with the Pater Noster or, if you prefer, the Anima Christi. THE THIRTY-DAY SPIRITUAL EXERCISES The full Ignatian retreat in its traditional structure, beginning with the Principle and Foundation and walking through the Four Weeks: Sin and Mercy, the Public Life of Christ, the Passion, and the Resurrection. Each day opens with a hub — foundation quote, today's structure, opening CTA — and a six-step flow: preparatory prayer, composition of place, petition for grace, meditation points, colloquy, and the Pater Noster. THE PRAYER LIBRARY Thirteen central Catholic prayers in their canonical Latin and traditional English: Suscipe, Anima Christi, Prayer for Generosity, Pater Noster, Ave Maria, Gloria Patri, Memorare, Veni Creator Spiritus, Salve Regina, Angelus, Te Deum, Magnificat, and the Act of Contrition. Each carries an authorship note, a source citation, and where helpful a note on the language tradition. DAILY PRAYER + DAILY QUOTE A different Catholic prayer for every day of the year, paired with a Scripture verse or saint-quote arranged to the liturgical calendar. ABOUT ST. IGNATIUS A reverent biography in seven sections — the soldier of Loyola, his conversion, Montserrat and Manresa, Paris, the first companions, the founding of the Society of Jesus, his death and canonization — with a Spiritual Legacy section, the Sacred Places of his life (Loyola, Montserrat, Manresa, Paris, La Storta, Rome), and his sayings. LITURGICAL LIGHT Suscipe's chrome breathes through the day. A warm Marian Dawn palette in the morning — golden-red, deep brick, peach horizon, rising-sun gold — crossfading at noon and 4:30 AM into the deep Pilgrim Sunset of the evening: terracotta, burnt clay, dark earth, gold ember. THE UNLOCK Every prayer, every quote, every page of the Spiritual Exercises is free, and that is not changing. The personal practice tools — the Tracker (anchor and supplemental practice tracking, with streaks, perfect days, monthly grid, and year heatmap), the Journal (with reflective prompts and PDF export), and the Colloquy Timer (3, 5, or 10 minutes of paced contemplation with a soft chime) — are available through the unlock at $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year, both with a seven-day free trial. PRIVACY Your prayer history, journal entries, retreat day completions, and Examen reflections live on your device. If iCloud is enabled, they sync through Apple's end-to-end encrypted iCloud backup. No analytics, no third-party trackers, no servers we run. A NOTE ON THE TEXTS The Catholic prayers in Suscipe come down to us in Latin from the Roman Missal, the Vulgate, and the Raccolta. The English is Edward Caswall's nineteenth-century translation paired with the traditional forms. Scripture is from the Douay-Rheims. St. Ignatius wrote his Spiritual Exercises in Spanish — El Rey Eterno, Principio y Fundamento are his own words, not Latin translations. The app preserves these distinctions because language is part of what the prayer is. THE STUDIO Suscipe is part of the Sanctified Souls collective — a small Catholic studio making devotional tools for the faithful. Sister apps: Sanctified Souls, St. Bridget Prayers, The Little Way, and Via Virtutum. Privacy Policy:: https://www.sanctifiedsouls.net/privacy Terms of Service:: https://www.sanctifiedsouls.net/terms
