In today’s fast-paced world, finding moments to talk to God has become a real challenge. Over time, the Christian experience has developed a variety of practices, customs, and devotions that creatively nurture a relationship with God, supported by habits that foster growth in dialogue with Jesus Christ and the saints. On this journey, as the Catechism teaches, vocal prayer is both an indispensable element and a genuine form of contemplative prayer (cf. CCC, nos. 2701, 2704).
As Pope Leo XIV reminds us: “Just as we never tire of breathing, so too must we not tire of praying. As breath sustains the life of the body, so prayer sustains the life of the soul. Faith is expressed in prayer, and authentic prayer lives by faith” (Homily, 19-X-2025). Often, we pray using words given to us by others; our voices instead take up the living strength of the Church’s tradition in the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Creed, the Psalms, and the hymns.
👉🏾 The Pocket Prayer Book is a discreet aid for the spiritual life, a guide for the journey of prayer. It is accessible from your phone, tablet, or computer in order to support you wherever you are.
🛜 Always with you, even offline
Perhaps the most practical feature of this devotional is its constant availability. Once accessed for the first time, the content is stored on the device and can be reloaded at any moment, even without network coverage or an internet connection. It thus becomes a reliable resource for praying on public transport, in waiting rooms, during travel, or in the quiet of a church.
📌 A personalised, user-friendly space
Each of us has our own way of praying and favourite devotions. The prayer book allows users to save frequently used prayers in a Bookmarks section, creating a personal collection for easy access. The text size is adjustable, and there is a dark mode for low-light conditions to ensure a comfortable and non-intrusive reading experience in any situation.
Contents include prayers for before and after Mass, the Holy Rosary, Eucharistic hymns like the Adoro te devote and Sacris solemniis, as well as other hymns, including Ubi caritas and Ave maris stella. The devotional also features formulas of Catholic doctrine, such as the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, works of mercy, prayers for the faithful departed, prayer cards, and other pious practices.
📚 A window to the universal Church
Prayer unites us to the universal Church, rich in languages and traditions. The Pocket Prayer Book reflects this reality, offering not only prayers in over twelve languages but also the option to view them side by side in two languages simultaneously. This is especially helpful for those who wish to pray in their mother tongue while engaging with the original meaning of liturgical texts (such as comparing them with the Latin version) or for those learning prayers in another language.
🎯 Designed for serenity
Particular care has been taken to ensure a calm and focused experience. The interface is clean, free from distractions, providing a secure and private space dedicated exclusively to intimate dialogue with God.
In short, the Pocket Prayer Book aims to be a tool that harnesses the resources of our time to help us walk with Jesus in everyday life.
We hope it will be a valuable aid for many on their journey of faith. We invite you to explore it and make it your own.
