Spes Unica

Walk the Stations of the Cross in either Traditional or Scriptural form — both always free, fully prayed, with a daily Catholic prayer and a daily quote for every day of the year. From a small Catholic studio.

For fourteen centuries the Church has sung "O Crux Ave, Spes Unica" — Hail, O Cross, our only hope — at the foot of the Cross. Spes Unica places the Stations in your pocket so the Cross is never far from your day, whether you walk them through Lent, return to them each Friday, or take up a prayer when the heart is drawn to the Passion.

TWO COMPLETE FORMS — BOTH ALWAYS FREE

• The Traditional Way of the Cross composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori (1761), prayed by the faithful for over two centuries. Fourteen stations from the condemnation to the burial, each with a scripture reference, a meditation, and a prayer.

• The Scriptural Way of the Cross introduced by Pope John Paul II (1991). Fourteen stations drawn directly from the Gospel accounts, with the full Douay-Rheims text of each pericope.

You choose freshly each time you walk. Both forms carry the opening and closing prayers, the traditional versicle and response, and a guided how-to-pray sheet.

A PRAYER AND A QUOTE FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

The home screen carries a different Catholic prayer and a different scripture or saint's quote every day, all 366 days (leap years included), drawn entirely from the public-domain Catholic patrimony — the Roman Missal, the Douay-Rheims Bible, the great Latin Passion hymns (Stabat Mater, Vexilla Regis, Crux Fidelis, Pange Lingua), the Stations of St. Alphonsus, the Seven Last Words, the Penitential Psalms, and the saints and Doctors of the Church.

A full Prayers library lets you browse all 366 daily prayers by month, with a fullscreen detail view that supports Copy and Share so you can send a prayer to someone who needs it.

INTENTIONS

Name the souls, sorrows, and graces you wish to carry to Calvary. Active intentions appear at the Opening Prayer and travel with you through each walk.

REMINDERS — FREE FOR EVERYONE

Optional Friday reminders (year-round) and Lenten daily reminders (Sundays excepted) at the hour you choose — the traditional hour of three o'clock by default.

PILGRIMAGE — ONE-TIME UNLOCK ($4.99)
