Sacred Space for Android
As a guy who needs that daily reminder that it's not all about him and there are consequences for how you behave in this temporal world, I can't say how much I appreciate Sacred Space.
This correlates with the lectionary, and is similar to a meditation type of prayer, or Lectio Divina. It helps you feel closer to God in a personal way through the readings and only takes a few minutes each day.
This app has interesting features that run deeper than its format initially suggest. I think the most effective ways to read through the devotional are (a) with a concordance nearby (b) a Bible.
The Sacred Space app incorporates a gentle, natural, soothing spiritual flow. The pages transition from one to another for a truly relaxing and immersive spiritual encounter. This is a rare digital experience.
I used to enjoy this app, and I really love the prayer style it employs. However it does not work properly on my Samsung Note 8. The first screen of the daily prayer will (usually) load, but then none of the subsequent ones. Occassionally, it also crashes. This includes after uninstalling and reinstalling.
This app is lovely. It is a guided devotional that uses Ignatian methods to help bring the participant into the presence of the living God. I love the steps that help put away distractions and that the scripture isn't overly interpreted. The reader is invited into the story which facilitates listening to God's voice.
I use this at the start of my day. It doesn't take too long and you can go at your own pace. You can also choose some music or silence to go with it if you prefer.
I have tried other examen type apps and this has been very good at keeping me on track. I find myself really making an effort to use it every day
This app has not worked for over a week. I sent an email and the response was what system was I using. I replied and that is where things stand. When the app works it is great but for now be aware there are issues
Something for the mind and heart each day. Helps you step aside from the pressures of the routine
It keeps stating that it's failing to load the daily text. It hasn't worked once yet. Love the online site but disappointed with the app.
It has helped me a lot, and i pray it continues to help me, because despite the hectic world and life, this app has helped me feel closer to God. It gives me a different way to pray, a different way to talk to God and brought me closer to Him. I was lost, but now I'm found. Praise the Lord!
As a follower of the Jesuit traditions, I couldn't be happier for this app. Very thoughtful and meditative for your spiritual life.
This has always been an app that not only helps you focus but focus on the Word as well as assists you further if need be. An absolute favorite!!!
Worked great the first few days. Unable to download text. Reinstalled several times...still won't work.
Beautiful content with nice options like background music. Gives prayers and scripture guidance without specific interpretation, which allows me to remain open to what God wants me to hear. Perfect length - in depth but doesn't take long to finish each one. Amazing way to start my day ♡ Highly recommend.
Content is awesome and extremely relevant to a spiritial life, but the Android app stalls every time I tried it so I went back to the PC.
I love the app! From the different musical selections the prayers and the lessons, its absolutely perfect. I use it together with the Jesuit Prayer app to start my day and to refresh myself throughout the day. I praise God and I thank Him for this wonderous gift. I thank Him also for giving you the talent and the gift to develop this app. Thank you so much! ????
Great ambient music to accompany the short but profound pieces for reflection. Just love the simplicity of it as well,especially great for us tech challenged. Have sent it to many friends. Makes it soooo easy to dive quick & Deep into God's riches!
Daily Prayer reflection from the Irish Jesuits - superb resource - those experiencing malfunctions, make sure you download the latest version - Grace & Peace
It's a great way to start your day or take a break during the day. Plus, no ads. Even if you're not necessarily religious, the meaning and substance of the messages still hold weight.
I will share this as it is an easy yet profound way of reflecting on who God, Jesus, is, and helping me to remembr that He is with us throughout the day. When i forget, i can open the website again to remind myself of how I touched base with Him in the morning. Thank you.
It's hard to find a devotional that allows me to approach Scripture from my own place instead of trying to promote a particular interpretation. I'm a long time fan of the website and the app is just as much a blessing. There was a glitch with the last update where the app didn't work. But that was remedied by un-installing and then re-installing.
The app worked for a couple of weeks, but now it crashes when I start the prayer. When it doesn't crash, I get an empty page. This is even after I've re-installed the app. I hope to continue to use the app in the near future once this is fixed.
I enjoy both the contemplative poignancy and the depth of Sacred Space. I was frustrated for a bit when the app would not work. Today, I deleted and reinstalled it; seems to function well again. Thank you.
First off- I love the app. I've recently been experiencing some bugs though- swipe not working when I switch windows, home screen turns red if I come back from the prayer- which really distract me. Please fix it soon!

Soooo helpful for those wanting to establish a regular, consistent prayer time. It has made my daily prayer more purposive and disciplined. The structure helped my thoughts from wandering.
A beautiful resource for spiritual development... I rated it 5 initially. Now, when I hit 'Begin the Prayer' app goes to 'Presence' page but when I tap 'Next' it is an Empty Page. So I have returned to the on-line versio
Great support to prayer, though I have had some issues in recent days the screen was blank when I tried to go forward. I have reinstalled it now so I hope it will be as good as before. Thank you for your spiritual support. Miriam
I've used the website for years, and am now so excited about this app. It makes it easier now to utilize the prayer guide even when I don't have wifi. Thank you!
I am familiar with Sacred Space for years, the people behind this inspirational website and app are a true blessing!! Thank you for this lovely and educational experience and opportunity, God bless you and keep you safe in His hands always!! God bless us all ❤
I'm used to the Episcopal BCP, but this app is a oasis of calm, reflection, and prayer (I use it frequently on the NYC subway). It's even peaceful to change pages. Thanks!
As a spiritual director, I recommend Sacred Space to my clients on a regular basis to learn what this type of prayer looks and feels like. I have been using it myself for years and am so grateful for it. Thank you.
New version scripture text gone. No longer able to use.
In the busyness of my day often it is hard to make time to spend with God. Sacred Space is a great tool that helps me to do that intentionally and consistently.
Have been using this website for several years. Recently discovered the mobile apps and now use it daily. Really brings you close to Jesus and starts the day off right. Also gives you insight to the daily reading.
This app makes talking and listening to God so easy.. It gives you the relaxed atmosphere by having the various soothing background music playing while reading and praying. You gotta have this app!
Thank you for your prayerfull and peace gilled reflections. Your app helps me to look beyond myself to all our sisters and brothers around the world. To remember God is present to all of us in the Mass and your app. God Bless.

I have found this app helpful in focusing my thoughts and prayers. It is convenient to open at any time of the day or night to give encouragement and a way to build scripture into your life. I've found this app trustworthy and turn to it on a regular basis.
