Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We are delighted to share some exciting updates about how Divine Office is reaching new audiences and deepening connections within our prayer community. As part of our mission to bring the Liturgy of the Hours to more people, we’re expanding to platforms where we can invite even more souls to join us in daily prayer.

Here’s what’s new:

Instagram and Threads

We’re thrilled to announce that Divine Office is now on Instagram and Threads! These platforms allow us to connect with people who might not yet know about the beauty and rhythm of the Liturgy of the Hours.
• Instagram: Follow us for inspiring visuals, daily reflections, and highlights that showcase the grace of prayer and devotion.
• Threads: Join us in meaningful conversations and find encouragement in faith-filled moments shared by the global Divine Office community.

Follow us on both platforms:
• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DivineOffice.LiturgyOfTheHours
• Threads: https://www.threads.net/DivineOffice.LiturgyOfTheHours

We hope these spaces will become an extension of our prayer community, reaching those who may be searching for peace and spiritual nourishment in their lives.

Podcast Now on YouTube

We are also happy to let you know that the Divine Office podcast is now available on YouTube! This initiative is another step in making the Liturgy of the Hours more accessible to those who are seeking a deeper connection with God. Whether you’re at home, commuting, or working, YouTube offers a convenient way to engage in prayer.

By bringing the Divine Office podcast to YouTube, we aim to create opportunities for both existing members of our prayer community and new listeners to join in prayer together.

Don’t Forget: We’re on Facebook Too!

Why This Matters

These updates are more than just new platforms—they represent a mission to bring the transformative power of prayer to more people in a world that deeply needs it. Our growing presence allows us to invite others into the ancient tradition of the Liturgy of the Hours, uniting hearts in prayer and fostering a sense of peace and community.

We invite you to follow, engage, and share these new resources with your family and friends. Together, we can continue to grow our global prayer community and bring the light of God’s word to new corners of the world.

Pray anywhere
I have prayed the Divine Office for many years. [...] When I discovered this app, all of my concerns of ribbon placement were gone. Having the Divine Office on my phone is absolutely the best thing ever! The sense of community is so wonderful as I see how many others are praying at the same time as myself. [...] Now I don’t need to turn a lamp on as I use to when I used the Office printed volumes. It is such a blessing to have the Divine Office in my pocket. Many times I’ve been sitting in a doctor’s waiting room at the time of Mid Morning prayer. It is so calming of any worries to pull out my phone, open the app, and be able to connect with Our Lord at those times I need Him most. I don’t use the audio version much but the few times I’ve traveled, it is so comforting to not have to skip the Office in order to keep my hands on the steering wheel and my eyes in the road. I recommend this app to friends all the time, especially to those who’d like to pray the Office but feel intimidated by the size of the printed version and getting the ribbons placed properly. Thank you for developing this app. It is my constant companion.

Super helpful
I have only been introduced to the divine office prayers two times before I downloaded this app. It is laid out in a way that is very easy to understand, and there is an audio option that will say all of the prayers. There is an option to set reminders throughout the day. I got this because, I didn’t really know how to say the divine office, and I didn’t know what prayer books I needed to purchase to begin. During the shutting down of churches for covid :( this has been a wonderful resource. One cool feature is that you can tap on the “in prayer” link and see little specks of light around the globe lighting up in the area that someone else is praying. It’s so cool to see everyone praying with you and is a powerful reminder that we are all connected and unified in Christ’s mystical body.

Praying with the whole Church
I love this app! Since it is now free and no longer for sale, I made sure to donate the price of buying it, and then some. I have loved the Liturgy of the Hours for 25 years. But I always felt alone when I prayed it. With this app, I am connected to others! I use it in conjunction with my printed Christian Prayer volume. On other days, I cannot get to my book but with the app, I always have the prayers available. I have the printed calendar with my book, but I actually rely on this more for placing my ribbons. The audio is wonderful!! I often read out loud with it. I love that I can change the speed of the audio! I have found that 1.3 is good for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this app. Thank you for still supporting it. Thank you for updating the “one God,” to just “God” change in the prayers. My book still throws me off but your app is right! Highly recommend this. Many friends have it. THANK YOU!!
