Lighthouse Bible App

Over the weekend I downloaded the Lighthouse Catholic Media Bible App. It is fantastic and free!

It comes with:

Complete edition of the RSV-CE
Amazing audio New Testament from Truth and Life - plus the Gospel of John for FREE!
An extra 10 hours of Free audio commentary from Dr. Scott Hahn's St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.
Over 50 Lighthouse talks for purchase within the app. Download today and get "The Lamb's Supper" for FREE!

I know that EWTN has a similar app available as well. (I believe that version comes with the audio to Mark downloaded for free.) I prefer this edition simply due to the extra St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology audio commentaries. One of them is a 6 part commentary on the Gospel of John by Dr. Scott Hahn. Additional talks can be purchased for $1.99-$2.99 per talk, so very reasonable. My only gripe is that once again this would have been a great opportunity for Ignatius to get involved and allow the RSV-2CE to be the Bible used. I am happy to have the RSV-CE don't get me wrong, but I prefer the updated Second Edition.

If you have a smart phone this is something every Catholic should get, along with the iBreviary, iRosary, and Logos Bible apps.

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
