Vatican City, Oct 15, 2019 / 08:44 am
The Vatican promoted the launch of a 'smart rosary' bracelet Tuesday compatible with an iOS and Android app, which costs over $100.
"In a world of indifference and in the face of so many injustices, poverty, elementary rights denied, praying for peace in the world means reconciling ourselves in our daily relationships, with the poorest, with the stranger, with different cultures and spiritual and religious traditions, but also with our land, our forests, our rivers and oceans," Fr. Frédéric Fornos, SJ said in a press release sent by the Holy See Press Office Oct. 14.
"The rosary is a beautiful spiritual tradition for contemplating the Gospel with Mary, it is a simple and humble prayer," he said.
The "eRosary" bracelet is activated by making the sign of the cross, and is synced to an app, "Click to Pray eRosary" that tracks the user's progress and contains visual aids and audio reflections on the mysteries of the rosary.
