An Empty Heart for Jesus
Sometimes, when our hearts are heavy and full, we don't have room to invite anyone else in. To make space, we need to empty our hearts and minds first. I…

Wow, that's a powerful story about prayer indeed. I can't even imagine having the stamina to keep praying for evildoers. God gives saints graces we can't even fathom. He is always good, providing our needs and protecting us in the storms. Let us never cease praying for souls in purgatory, those suffering from debilitating illnesses, and children who are in horrible situations. All of these are in my thoughts daily, not just my own trials and tribulations...which are nothing compared to what Christ suffered for little old me! Jesus is our most powerful martyr and he left His example, which others are courageous enough to follow. God bless all our saints!

Thank you for sharing. This speaks of the power of prayer and the lengths evil will go to prevent it.In bringing Communion to nursing home souls I would remind them of their importance at this time of their lives; they had all day to pray for lost souls! Isn't it just like our God to use the seemingly weakest of our world to still, in their infirmity, be the most powerful!

The Romanian mentioned is a Lutheran. These people should not be glorified on a Catholic site as we are team Pope.

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!!
