This is a fantastic list of resources for deepening one’s Catholic faith. It’s great to see so many tools that can help individuals grow spiritually. I’ve personally found that having a variety of resources, like books and devotionals, keeps my faith journey fresh and engaging. Do you think digital resources, like apps or online devotionals, will become more central to religious practices, or is there still something unique about traditional printed materials? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on how these resources can complement each other.
Absolutely, thank you for the kind words! I’m with you—having a mix of resources really helps keep my faith life active and grounded. I actually use quite a few digital tools myself, including apps and online devotionals on both my phone and computer. There’s even a missal app I’ll use sometimes for Mass when I don’t have my physical copy handy.
That said, there’s still something deeply personal and grounding about holding a printed book or devotional in your hands. I love the feel of a well-worn prayer book or flipping through the pages of a physical Bible. For me, it’s not really about digital vs. traditional—it’s more about using whatever helps me stay connected to God in the moment. They each have their place, and I think they really do complement each other well.
