I don’t think you’re alone on your sins. As long as you confessed them, you are free!
In my prayer, Jhoanna! Keep praying and working hard.

Beautiful reflection, so so true! I was at the Eucharistic Congress last week, and many thousands of faithful Catholics renewed their love of Christ and their devotion to Him in the Eucharist. I was one of them, and Jesus reminded me that I have a vocation as a wife. It lifted the scales from my eyes and I saw clearly that I have been "busy" for God to the detriment of that vocation. I have never felt such peace.

Dear Tom,The Church is considered the new Jerusalem and we are the new Jews as Christ's call to salvation is for all who will believe and respond.I encourage you to read Chapters 15-17 of Numbers while looking at Moses as the precursor of the Pope. Notice carefully what happens to those who mumble and grumble against Moses and Aaron. Scripture says we are not to call any man evil; we cannot know the state of any man's soul at the time of his death. We could be pointing fingers at a future saint.There have been bad popes in the past, but that was due to their personal sins. Those who are close to Pope Francis claim he is a holy man who is enduring much abuse by the media haters of Christianity who delight in putting forth every conceivable lie they can think of to turn Catholics against their own leaders. To accomplish such a goal, they do what filmmakers do: they edit out or splice in content to make it seem Pope Francis is leading us astray. Anyone who starts bashing the Pope, who our Catechism calls us to love, is someone I will no longer listen to. I believe Christ's words that he will never leave His Church; He has stayed with us in the Eucharist and given us the Holy Spirit. Praise God!Cheryl Spooner

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!!
