Click to Pray tells the user what The Pope is currently praying for so they can pray along with him.

Click to Pray is the official app of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network and the official prayer platform of World Youth Day 2019, which is taking place between 22-27 January. For this event, the app includes a special multimedia section to pray and meditate the Rosary for Peace.

The app has three main sections:

The app’s launch took place in St Peter’s Square as the Pontiff, who once claimed to be a “disaster” with technology, showed off its features on a tablet.

“Did I do it?” Pope Francis asked his aide after swiping on the tablet.

Pope Francis said the internet and social media is a way “to stay in touch with others, to share values and projects and to express the desire to form a community.”

The app is available in six languages and is available to download through the App Store [Apple] or Google Play [Android].
