Even though I am not Catholic, I like this writing of Noonan’s. Time marches on, and technology does so exponentially.
If only Peggy had a Windows Phone 8. She could have bookmarked the readings using the Catholic Companion app:

Even my parish priest has his own iPhone. :)
While the article is an amusing anecdote, I sometimes wonder if technology isn't the 'false wonders and miracles' that so many will follow to their doom...
It might be instructive to consider what all this would look like to someone from the 1700's (or anytime prior to it's use).
Antichrist? There's an app for that...
That is a sweet story.
It IS possible to use technology without being enslaved to it.
I am very happy that the Good Priest provided Bible Verses instead of just issuing a penance.
Happy and Blessed new year, marchmallow.
I have been to St Patrick’s confessional. The last time the priest I met was a tough one. He told me to throw out the computer with the scant woman on it with advertising. Lol!
