Lord, open my lips.
— And my mouth will proclaim your praise.
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.
Psalm 95
Come, let us sing to the Lord
and shout with joy to the Rock who saves us.
Let us approach him with praise and thanksgiving
and sing joyful songs to the Lord.
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.
The Lord is God, the mighty God,
the great king over all the gods.
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the highest mountains as well.
He made the sea; it belongs to him,
the dry land, too, for it was formed by his hands.
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.
Come, then, let us bow down and worship,
bending the knee before the Lord, our maker,
For he is our God and we are his people,
the flock he shepherds.
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.
Today, listen to the voice of the Lord:
Do not grow stubborn, as your fathers did in the wilderness,
when at Meriba and Massah they challenged me and provoked me,
Although they had seen all of my works.
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.
Forty years I endured that generation.
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray
and they do not know my ways.”
So I swore in my anger,
“They shall not enter into my rest.”
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. Come, let us give thanks to the Lord for his great love is without end.

May each and every one of us look into the mirror, and put on the sackcloth and ashes of humility. What is needed is repentance, not arrogance, not rejoicing. But King David-like repentance

My Lord, the election is over and You know almost no one I voted for won election. I pray for Your grace to walk away from all negative talk about our newly elected officials, whether spoken in jest or in all seriousness. Instead, give me the grace to daily pray for them. Jesus, I trust in you.

Jesus please help the media realize that they need to stop with all the lies they tell. They cause so much division. One lie is that President Trump will end democracy well did he the last time? No the dems did this time with trying to take away our rights. He had nothing to do project 2025

Heavenly Father, the election is over and I am relieved. It was a bitter and hotly contested election. Please heal the bitter division that plagues our land. Guide our newly elected President and leaders as they seek to forge unity and harmony after so bitter a campaign. Jesus, I trust in you.

For Justin, who posted earlier...let faith cast out fear. We're all broken and imperfect. All the more reason to take comfort in the salvation that Christ affords us. Faith doesn't require that we agonize endlessly over our condition. Quite the opposite! Love casts out doubt and fear.

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!!
