It isn't April 1st and yet ...

The Vatican is hoping to pull in tech-savvy youngsters with the launch of an "eRosary" bracelet.

The gadget, which costs $109 (£85), can be worn as a bracelet and is activated by making the sign of a cross.

It is connected to the "Click to Pray eRosary" app, which is designed to help Catholic users pray for world peace and contemplate the gospel.

The app tracks a user's progress, and contains visual and audio explanations of the rosary.

Anyone getting one? 😅😂🤣

Haha I was just reading about this 😂🤣

extreme_one it's like a Catholic Fitbit only for prayer. Not my thing but I'm sure there's thousands who would like a reminder to pray.

extreme_one omg! I will stick with my normal rosary thank you 😂

extreme_one
And they wounder why people mock faith today! 🙄

extreme_one oh dear god 😂😂😂😂

extreme_one While I am their target market (am Catholic by baptism), it;s a definite no from me.

I dare say they'll make enough to fill quite a few hundred offering plates though,.

Question is, how much profit are they making on it and what is the profit being used for as it's not like they are short of cash.

I agree though, worthy of an April 1st story.

extreme_one I’ve got seven! My iLog says I’ve been good this year!

Haha well I wont be putting it on my stocking list lol

Just what i have always wanted , Not 😆

Why has it got an e in front of Rosary is it made in Yorkshire ?

My initial thoughts would cause outrage on the community.
So, it's very nice, yes.

Just what the world has been missing ...lol

vickyjakesmum I'm sure there's thousands who would like a reminder to pray

If they need a reminder to pray perhaps they're in the wrong faith (if any fits at all that is).

I won't be getting one @extreme_one but then I'm not a tech- savvy youngster, I like to wear mine around my neck 😂

Read to the bottom of the article and wondering how the heck I also missed “Follow JC Go” - gotta catch ‘em all 😂

'll take 2
