Why has God permitted such desolation to engulf His Church on earth? We cannot peer into His mind and say exactly why, nor can we know for how long this affliction will last, although He has told us repeatedly in Scripture the reasons why He punishes His people and assures us that He will never abandon those who trust in Him.But by the same token we can ask why the Father permitted His beloved Son to be engulfed by desolation in the Garden of Gethsemane and by dereliction on the Cross. These are mysteries too profound to be explained; they can only be contemplated, loved, and experienced. Even so, Christ’s human soul, at its pinnacle, was also always bathed in the glory of the beatifying vision of God. One might dare to say, by a kind of analogy, that the glory of the heavenly Jerusalem—the immaculate Bride of Christ in all her splendor—never ceases to shine into the souls of Catholics on earth who remain faithful to their Lord, adhere to His divine teaching, and make use of the rich traditions He has bestowed upon His Church throughout history.In short: as long as Christ lives, the Church will live, and as long as she lives, the traditional law of prayer, law of faith, and law of life will somewhere and somehow continue. We will be able to find out about this triple law and live by it.

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!!
