# iOs'd Just in Time for Lent

**Big News**, well at least it was to me.  I have finally saved enough of my pennies to be able to purchase my first iOS device - an iPad.  I always knew as a Techie Nerd Girl that I was missing out on fabulous iOS offerings, the ones not available on Android - and am already making up for lost time!  My first stop -- just in time for Lent:

## Magnificat Lenten Companion 2015

This one has always given me App Envy - and here's why!

- Daily I Receive right to my iPad: 
    - Prayer for the Morning
    - Mass (though I am still not sure I will have the courage to pull our my iPad in Mass!)
    - Lenten Meditation
    - Prayer for the Evening; and
    - Prayer at Night

You had me at Lenten Meditation!   But wait, there's more...

- Other Lenten Features include: 
    - Chants for Lent and Easter (love Chants!)
    - Prayer for Various Occasion (such as For Conversion of Heart; In Time of Temptation; and my personal favorite, For Forgiveness)
    - The Stations of the Cross; and more!

[![Magnificat Stations of Cross](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_0001-300x400.png?width=300&height=400&name=IMG_0001-300x400.png)](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_0001.png) Photo: Stations of the Cross screenshot (Allison Gingras)

Always a favorite feature in any daily app - REMINDER setting capabilities.  In the Magnificat Lenten 2015 App, I can set separate reminders for:

- Prayer for the Morning
- Read Magnificat
- Prayer in the Evening

It seems I have been blessed with my iOS device, just in time to be blessed during my Lenten prayer time with [The Magnificat Lenten Companion 2015](https://www.magnificat.net/english/boutique_lenten.asp).
