The Vatican launched "Click to Pray 2.0," a significant update to its prayer app, aiming to enhance the digital prayer experience with new personal features.
Key new functions include a personal planner for configuring daily prayer moments with reminders and a "School of Prayer" to support users.
The app enables users to pray with Pope Francis for specific intentions, form global prayer groups, and is available in seven languages.
Officials emphasized the app serves as an additional means to connect with God and reach a wider audience, rather than replacing traditional prayer methods.

"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
