St. Catherine of Sienna: A Treatise on Divine Providence

Oh, yes, blessed Holy Spirit, and fill with Your gifts of Love, Joy, Peace Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, and Self-Control of our wills, bringing them into alignment with the will of our Eternal Father. Glory to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, .c
I am right there with you, I have been praying the divine office daily for a while now and there are days I go to sleep thinking "what good am I doing", then I didn't include the divine office in my daily devotions for a day or two and I could feel the disconnection. I too am a wandering one talent Catholic. I too pray the Rosary daily (have not missed a day since April of this year) at least five decades a day. I also recite the St. Michael's chaplet daily as well as read scripture but there are days I do not see any improvement in me. Then I remember those days in my youth spent in the gym. I did not see improvement or muscle growth from day to day until one day I did! It is all in God's time and you remain in my prayers.

You touched me, and I burned for your peace.
St. Augustine reminds us of the prodigal son. Leaving the family home, whiling away his time in wine, women and song, gaining the attractions of the world, but with this…

St. Augustine's Faith journey is similar to mine. He was ordained a priest at about the same age as me. At age 40 I was ordained a transitional deacon. 6…

"You inspire us, O Lord, to delight in praising you, because you made us for yourself; our hearts are restless until they rest in you"
St Augustine is a great example of the prodigal son. Lord draw my family back to you through the same Spirit and may those who do not accept You experience Your ways…

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!!
