Arise, O God, and defend your cause!
Dearest Lord in Heaven, we are watching Your virgin Church be deflowered by the sins of both the faithful and those in positions of power. Do not forget Your promise…
When people take the Lord's name in vain, you might consider saying "Blessed be His holy name" or some variation, if it occurs in passing. But if more time permits, the "Golden Arrow" prayer pleases God and directly counteracts blasphemies: "May the Most Holy, Most Sacred, Most Adorable, Most Incomprehensible and Ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved, and glorified, in Heaven, on Earth and under the Earth, by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen."

What a gift you are receiving right now, Sean, a state of confusion, an inability to pray and meditate, a humbling. Like St. Therese, offer yourself to Baby Jesus, let Him make of you a plaything. Remember what she wrote? <em>For some time I had been accustomed to offer myself as a plaything to the Child Jesus. I told Him not to treat me like an expensive toy which children look at but dare not touch. I was a cheap little ball which He could fling on the ground or kick or pierce or leave neglected in a corner or even press to His Heart if it gave Him pleasure. To put it in a nutshell, I longed to amuse the little Jesus and offer myself to His childish whims.</em><em>He answered my prayer. In Rome, Jesus pierced His little toy. He wanted to see what was inside and then, having found out, He let His little ball drop and went to sleep. What did He dream about and what happened to the abandoned ball? Jesus dreamt that He was still playing with it, picking it up and dropping it, letting it roll away from Him, but in the end pressing it close to His Heart and never letting it slip again from His little Hand.</em><em>Be God's little ball, Sean, LET BABY JESUS DO WITH YOU WHATEVER HE WANTS!</em>

Your foes have made uproar in your house of prayer:
God I keep thinking about the elect being deceived. Whom will I go to? I'm always deceived. Help me Mary. I'm so doomed

I want to revere your name O Lord on behalf of my nation. I need to start saying something when people blaspheme. I don't know of any great ones of…

God is man’s glory. Man is the vessel which receives God’s action and all his wisdom and power.

Let us approach him with praise and thanksgiving and sing joyful songs to the Lord.
Praise for Your sublime generosity in handing over Jesus to the human race; thanksgiving because of the internet. Maybe I could play a joyful song?

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!!
