Dear DT, bitterness is the temptation and has anger as its base. Anger is a response to injustices and abuses. “There but for the Grace of God go I” may help here. Did you know “condemned” means damaged? So permanently condemned means permanently damaged. So we’ve all been damaged by others and have damaged others in response. This plight IS the spiritual journey and it’s so deeply rooted in us that God had to become man and die by injustices and abuse to rise and give us the power to overcome abuse by letting Him in to take over. Then HE is the one Who suffers but IN OUR OWN BODIES. That’s the mystery. You won’t be able to figure it out by logic. It’ll only come through YOUR will to offer yourself to HIM through your unjust circumstances and let Him heal your sorrows and pain. It’s difficult for sure. It helps to see others who’ve had it worse. Again, “There but for the Grace of God Go I” helps. I’ll be praying for you. My husband once realized the anger and resentment he held inside for his parents. When he decided to forgive them (realizing it’s only by God’s Grace that he hasn’t been compelled or put in similar circumstances where he’d do the same thing) THAT’S when he confessed a lack of forgiveness in his heart and was finally freed of anger. Now he’s very peaceful. And it’s been 40 years of this peace. And he’s been through a lot in the 40 years but remains peaceful. It’s anger over injustices that hurts our journey. Bless you. I’ll be praying for your peace. By the way, you are very poetic. That’s a gift from God. Perhaps if you focus on using it for someone’s good, it’ll help for YOUR good as well.

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!!
