About this app

The Divine Office App is an opportunity for you to participate in the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, an ancient and meditative collection of psalms, hymns and scripture that represent the public prayer of the Christian community.
If you are unable to pray in community, but love the contentment of praying with others, a praised feature of the Divine Office App lets you view locations where other Christians around the world are simultaneously praying with you.

This version is the official prayer book of the Catholic Church, however, it is suitable for all Christian faith traditions. It contains the official text and audio of daily prayers from the Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Catholic Church (Breviary) and has been approved for use in the United States by USCCB.

The Divine Office App is designed to make praying more convenient, enjoyable, and simple enough for anyone to use. It automatically downloads the appropriate prayers for each office, every day of the year, including Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials.

When St. Paul advises us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing,” he intends more than simply bowing our heads and speaking to God on a regular basis. He means for us to adopt an ongoing attitude of prayer that is a way of life and a constant intercession for the salvation of all mankind.

As the mystical body of Christ prays in unison, it fulfills what Paul advises as Christian conduct, that believers at once pray for the good of themselves, their neighbors, and the world. In this way, prayers become liturgy, a way to fulfill our divine calling and a practical approach for addressing the suffering of the world.

It's very good, and a wonderful resource for Liturgy of the Hours. The only thing I wish it did better was reformatting the UI, and maybe also set up each part in the liturgy in chapters. But all in all, started using this along with the audio, and it's made doing Morning and Evening prayers way easier than I realized. Also, beautiful hymns are sung through this app too. It's a great app that doesn't need you to pay anything to participate in what should otherwise already be open domain.

Would be 5 stars but when someone calls you it just keeps playing. So while you are talking to someone on the phone you just keep hearing it while trying to talk. Then you have to reopen the app to pause it. At least on my Samsung phone I am unable to pause by a drop down like spotify or other audio apps. Also with my headphones I cant pause it by taping. Would totally change review if this QOL change happened. Still going to be listening as much as I can though. Thanks for all the work!

My favorite app for daily prayer so far. Light and uncluttered, it does what it's supposed to do and nothing else, which is an art many web developers seem to have forgotten. The audio (which I only use occasionally) is sometimes kinda vintage, but as a child of the 80s that only makes it sound nostalgic, and I vastly prefer it to the ((drippy/overdramatized readers + audio so sensitive it lets you hear every smack of their saliva)) sitch you find on more "current" prayer apps.
