So beautiful. Yes, we are both dust and works of His hands. I will meditate on this wonder today.

Your reflection really resonated with me. I woke up in the night after having a vivid dream that I was drowning. I was resisting going down watching fewer and fewer bubbles going up toward the surface as I sank further and further down. As I was aware that the inevitable was near I relaxed and surrendered. I feared what would come next. As I braced myself for the pain I was surprised to find myself above the water. It felt like the next moment and there was no pain. I was left with the thought that my pain was caused from my resistance and the moment I surrendered I was released and rescued and brought to the surface of a new reality.

Drowning
Sometimes we find ourselves drowning in our fears, our self pity, our pride, our unwillingness to forgive. We languish in anger and guilt and anxiety overwhelms us. The darkness chokes…

Bestow on us, we pray, O Lord, a spirit of always pondering on what is right and of hastening to carry it out, and since without you we cannot exist,…

You must love the Lord your God...
Spiritual discourse always protects the soul from vainglory, bestowing light on every part of her so that she does not feel the need of human praise. Therefore, it also preserves…

My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
This path on the high mount of perfection is narrow and steep, it can only be trodden by wanderers who carry no burden that could drag them downwards. . .Stein,…

Amen! Praise God. St. Leander of Seville, pray for us! The world is filled with blasphemy and heresies, but God is always in control.

Thank you Olu, I never look at the Night prayer! I checked out the Night Prayer on the day you left a comment and it was beautiful. I didn’t know that it included an Examination of Conscience. Now it will read it as often as I can! Blessings to you

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!!
