Eternal Father, in the Name of Jesus & in unity with the Holy Spirit, I praise YOU and glorify YOU for YOU are the Most High God; there is no other god besides YOU. YOU, O Lord, know our deepest needs and YOU carry us during times of trial. YOU are the God of ALL things and NOTHING is impossible unto YOU. I plead the Saving Blood of Jesus upon each one of us as a hedge of protection of the wiles & temptations of the evil one and from all harm. I place Enrico C.'s son, daughter-in-law, and child in Your Divine Mercy. O Compassionate Lord, You know the needs of this family. I ask that YOU lead them to rejoice in YOUR Divine Will which is love and mercy. Bless them that even through difficult times, they may keep YOU as the center of their lives, increase their faith and trust in YOU. Bless Enrico's son with gainful employment that includes hospitalization and health insurance. Bless him with employment beyond his dreams, surround him with Godly co-workers, men and women of holy virtue, honesty, loyalty, and joy in YOU. Bless this family with good and robust health, a safe delivery, and joy in the the new life You have entrusted to them. I thank You, Lord, for listening to my prayer and granting this intent. I decree and declare magnificent work for Enrico's son. I trust in Your love and compassion. I believe in YOUR Power! Amen! Hallelujah!

Thank you for this. You have inspired me today to change the way I pray in my suffering. I realize I have been asking God for pure relief when I should have been thanking Him for bringing me out of myself and before Him on my knees in thanksgiving. I will be remembering you in my prayers along with all of my son's friends in the Holy Cross community.

United in Prayer: The Conclave Begins

Mauro on May 8th, 2025at 5:06

The eyes of the world are once again turned to Rome, where the 2025 Conclave has begun. As the doors of the Sistine Chapel closed and the words “Extra omnes” (“Everyone out!”) echoed through the sacred space, the Cardinal electors entered into one of the most solemn and prayerful tasks of their vocation: to discern, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who will be the next successor to St. Peter.

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!!
