The Faith Journey of our Community

Dear Toni, God Bless you and your family. The pain you are feeling is the torturing of your soul by unforgiveness. This condition only serves to punish the unforgiver as we are called to love and are not built to hold onto these feelings. When you are beaten down by a person who sounds like he is on a path to hell, it is the devil's goal to take you with him. Please choose now to forgive and then go through a process that will help you to do so. I have a way that I use that works and just worked for me a few days ago as I was faced with the same unforgiveness you are facing, this time for me as anger toward people who had wronged one of my family. It worked for me now as it worked when I first used it more than 10 years ago. Please consider it (it takes an hour and I can testify to its power, and I gain nothing financially from sharing it) or head to confession and ask the lord for help. Better yet, do both, and the lord be with you and bless you! https://youtu.be/FmxxLN9RGA0?si=fdpSJWExTEcFRrT5

This calms me at a time when I need it. My brother who has been lost for many years is dying. Yesterday I had a conversation with him, and he agreed for me to bring a priest to give him last rites. God is good.

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!!
