Lent is a time of reflection and penitence, and it can be helpful to draw on different sources of inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A new smartphone app from Australia provides some unique and unexpected insight for this Lenten season: It draws from Australian Abor\u00ed\u00adgenes culture.<\/p>\n
The '2015 Xt3 Lent Calendar App\u00e2?\u009d is updated daily and includes videos, podcasts, and written reflections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Archdiocese of Sydney created the app. It has been doing this since 2009, and each year has had a different theme.<\/p>\n
This year is particularly unique. It focuses on Indigenous Australians. Lots of artwork from \u00a0throughout the country is included.<\/p>\n
Historical documents, like Pope John Paul II\u00e2??s speech to Aboriginal Australians, are also part of the application.<\/p>\n
The app launched on Ash Wednesday and will continue to generate new content until one week after Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n
The app is available smartphones and tablets with iOS or Android. Of course, it's free of charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
