Eight-Day Retreat

Prepare for eternity with the classic spiritual exercises of Saint Alphonsus Liguori.

The Eight-Day Retreat App brings you a complete, focused spiritual retreat based on the timeless meditations from Preparation for Death. In the original book, the considerations and points are scattered across more than thirty chapters and require constant flipping back and forth, making a proper retreat extremely difficult. This app solves that problem by organizing everything into a clear eight-day sequence. The Retreat menu guides you day by day and highlights your progress until the retreat is completed.

Designed for quiet reflection and serious prayer, the app keeps technology out of the way so you can stay fixed on the eternal truths that matter most. Fully offline — no internet required once installed.
