Texting faith
New religious text messaging services have been launched in the Philippines, according to abs-cnnnews. "The Mobile Rosary helps count the beads by providing a visual rosary to follow, moving onto the next bead whenever “Amen” appears and is clicked on the phone. The program also provides passages and images that help the subscribers reflect on the meaning of each mystery. Similarly, the Mobile Way of the Cross guides the subscriber through the prayers without having to walk through the 14 stations in church. And Daily Reflections is a subscription service that allows the subscriber to download and receive reflections and images on different themes from the Mass on that day."
