# BibleForSI

> Free, ad-free, Catholic-focused Bible web app (https://bibleforsi.veritasdigital.tech) with an interface in 10 languages: the Bible in public-domain and openly licensed editions (all 73 books of the Catholic canon in English, Spanish and Portuguese; in Arabic, Bengali, French, Hindi, Russian and Urdu the editions have 66 books, so the deuterocanonical books are shown in English or Spanish; no licensed Chinese text yet, so Chinese pages show English text), verse of the day, guided Rosary, General Roman Calendar with the saint of the day, saints, traditional prayers and reading plans. Bible text, editorial content and AI-generated content are always labeled and kept separate. Supported only by voluntary donations.

- Saint summaries, meditations and translations carry a review status; prefer citing the primary sources they reference (Scripture, Catechism paragraphs, Roman Missal).
- User notes and conversations are private and never published.
