Stations of the Cross meets iPhone
The Stations of the Cross devotions are well known among Roman Catholics as well as people who ascribe to other faith traditions.
Now the ancient stations have been combined with the technology of today. 
Ava Maria Press is debuting its new Stations of the Cross application for iPhone and iPod touch today through Sunday at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress.
The prayer companion is free for download and is based on the book “John Paul II’s Biblical Way of the Cross” by Amy Welborn and Michael Dubruiel.
“With gorgeous station paintings by artist Michael O’Brien, this app transports users anytime, anywhere to a prayerful journey of solidarity with Christ from the Garden of Gethsemane, to his betrayal and arrest, and on his agonizing way to the cross,” representatives of Ava Maria Press said in a news release.
“The Stations of the Cross iPhone app has been created with busy people in mind and is the perfect pocket devotional, especially during this Lenten season.”
Tom Grady, Ava Maria Press publisher said the company is exploring creative digital ways of keeping their readers connected to God through prayer.
The ancient Stations of the Cross devotion commemorates the Passion and the death of Christ.
The new app is available in the iTunes App Store.

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!
