Encounter with Christ app for iPhone and iPad

Have you ever wanted to get closer to God? To Christ?

Do you have a desire to improve yourself, to become a more spiritual person?

Wanted to, but can’t find the time? Can’t find the material? Don’t know how?

ENCOUNTER changes all of this for you!

The essence of Christianity – the essence of Christian spirituality and becoming a better person— is developing a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Meditative prayer is a time-tested way for developing such a relationship. It engages your intellect, your imagination, your memory, your emotions – your whole self.

ENCOUNTER is a personal tool to help you engage methodically and daily in this type of prayer.

ENCOUNTER guides you through a series of steps that consist of preparation, reading and reflection on a daily Gospel passage, and concluding with a heart-to-heart conversation with Christ and an opportunity to respond concretely to your encounter. Along the way, prayer suggestions and a relevant meditation on the Gospel can be accessed to enrich your reflection and meditation. In addition, a journal is provided that allows you to capture Gospel or meditation text that particularly speaks to you, record your thoughts, write a spontaneous prayer…whatever the Holy Spirit inspires.

ENCOUNTER features include:

- Fully-contained, daily meditation at your finger tips!
- Daily Gospel readings that align with the lectionary used by most Christian churches
- Over 1000 Christ-centered meditations covering the full three-year cycle of gospel readings
