Intercede: Catholic Prayers

A great prayer app. Thanks for putting together this valuable resource.

Dear Father, Mother, Brother, Sister in the Christian Faith, I like your application: it helps put intention into practice and therefore fortify us in our Faith. However precisely for this reason I consider it useful to submit to your attention the fact that the psychological integrity of the person who prays must be respected. In the light of the well known -not new at all- psychological laws of action (Ribot, Beaudouin, Assagioli, amongst others) describing that thought, therefore words and even images, lead to corresponding feelings and actions, the word 'poor sinner' ought to be replaced by some positive, constructive and encouraging word/image, like i.e. 'earnest pilgrim' ( on the way to the heart of God). And to say we hate our sins, which I do understand's original, biblical meaning to be "I stay away from" -btw : lapidation has its origin in this command to stay at a distance from the sinners- BECAUSE WE LOVE GOD, which theologically is logica, is above the head of the simple believer who just (wrongly) associates the words at face value, which therefore becomes or can easily misunderstood as: to cultivate hate means that you love God; well for that type of believer it would be better to reformulate that part of the petition into something like: we purify and transmute our past mistakes thanks to our love of God.... Just an idea. Nonobstant this, I love these prayers and especially the fact that your application efficiently helps us to guide the psychological energy of our intentions into constructive directions, which is a manner of encouraging us to indeed transmute our imperfections into virtues, thus hastening our pilgrim's journey to the heart of God, with the constructive side effects this also has on society. Respectfully yours, Isabelle Kung, Geneva - Switzerland (Still under the great impression left by the visit here on June 21, 2018 of His Holiness the Pope Francis, and his so encouraging words on the meaning of the holy prayer of the Christians: The Lord's Prayer)

Without Prayer in our lives - without the easy access to the beautiful Soul healing words that the Novenas bring me My life is incomplete…. I Love this app. .. May many many others receive this app … I have tried sharing it with others - but I’m informed they can’t afford it … it is a burden to many - even is for me .. but I pray on it and somehow it becomes available ! Merciful God I give you my heartfelt thanksgiving! THROUGH GOD- ALL IS POSSIBLE! … I wish I had a lot of money to pay that many receive this app at no cost to them!!! … many as I live humble.. many do not have access due to financial burdens! Help them Please. Thank you for this app.

Felt very very good after completing thrynovena. Felt very blessed by Our Lady Of Guadalupe.

I love the reminders this app gives and all the novenas it provides !

There is no search engine that allows one to put a Saint’s name and conduct a search for that particular saint. The search engine is limited and very frustrating. Setting up the dates is easy enough, but when you are ready to leave the page it reverts back to the previous dates and time. It is a very frustrating application.

Helps to keep me on track with my novena for special intentions.

This Novena has been extremely helpful as I seek to deepen the relationship that God has placed in my life at this time.

Every evening in the quietness of my home I pray my novenas, thank you for letting me be part of this extraordinary time that brings calmness to me.

Wonderful way to start my day with various novenas. Pray offers historical context for many topics you may wish to pray about. So spiritually fulfilling.
