I have a cell phone that isn’t very smart. You might say it’s barely sentient. I use it for texting and phone calls, occasionally as an alarm clock. Articles like Jack McLain’s list of favorite Catholic apps in America make me want to upgrade to a smart phone. One of his favorites is the Three-Minute Retreat from Loyola Press. You can get it free on the web or for 99 cents as an iPhone app.
