Daily Cross

Lent is not a suggestion. It is forty days of war against comfort, against softness, against the parts of yourself that resist God. Daily Cross gives you one concrete sacrifice each day of Lent. No menu. No choices. Accept the cross you are given and complete it before the day ends. Every sacrifice is rooted in one of the seven Corporal Works of Mercy — the acts Christ Himself said He will judge us by. Feed the hungry. Give drink to the thirsty. Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. Visit the sick. Visit the imprisoned. Bury the dead. Each sacrifice takes ten minutes or less. Skip a meal and sit with the hunger. Finish your shower with cold water. Send a message to someone who is struggling. Pray for the Holy Souls. Small acts of discipline that build the kind of man who can bear real weight. YOUR DAILY CROSS Open the app each morning. One sacrifice is waiting. Accept it. Complete it. That is all. TRACK YOUR DISCIPLINE Your streak counts consecutive days of completed sacrifice. Your completion rate holds you accountable over all forty days. These numbers are not for vanity. They are a mirror. THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY See which Works of Mercy you practice most and where you fall short. A man who only fasts but never serves has missed the point. SHARE YOUR WITNESS Post your daily completed sacrifice to Instagram and Facebook Stories with a single tap. The image includes your progress, a Scripture verse tied to the Work of Mercy, and an invitation for others to join. LENT SUMMARY After Holy Saturday, review your forty days. Total completed, longest streak, top sacrifice type, Works of Mercy breakdown, and a direct recommendation for how to carry your discipline into Ordinary Time. DAILY REMINDERS A morning notification ensures you never forget your cross. Accept your sacrifice before the reminder and it cancels automatically.
