I like and agree, especially the 2nd perspective. When people wronged us, colored our innocent good deeds let it be, endure as witnessed by Christ's teachings, and in silence offer everything to God for the atonement of sins in this world.

Thank you for your words and your reflection on silence. I personally think that be silent and experience deep silence is one of the most important aspects in our lives. Without the gifts of silence then spiritual growth is almost impossible.

There can be two perspectives of silence.1) As Mama Mary taught us, silence means pondering everything in the heart. It means that we may not understand everything happening, but we…

Sean, you seem to focus so much on your sinfulness and wretchedness rather than the Goodness and Magnificence of God. Stop being like a seagull flying close to the ground. Soar like an eagle and with absolute trust. Like St. Therese. The Little Flower expressly tells us that her sinlessness was not the secret nor the foundation of her confidence. These are her words, "If I draw nigh to God with love and trust, it is not because I have kept from mortal sin. Were my conscience laden with every imaginable crime, I would not have one whit less confidence; heartbroken and repentant, I would throw myself into my Savior's arms. He loves the prodigal son; I know His words addressed to Magdalen, to the adulterous woman, and to the woman of Samaria. Who could make me afraid? I know His mercy and His love; I know that once I had thrown myself into His arms all my numberless sins would disappear in an instant like drops of water cast into a furnace." Sean, forget yourself and the deficiencies of those you love. Allow God to love you.

I will pray for any and all who rescue unborn children. Abortion is the ultimate sin that cries out for rescue! We live in a world gone bonkers! God bless them all, they are doing HIS work! In Jesus' name we pray, amen!

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!!
