A Modified Prayer
I read a prayer in Divine Office and noted it was much more elegant than I would have put it, so I rearranged it and made it more personal. This…

And to think this was written in the time we call "The Dark Ages"

Today's reading especially Psalm 36 renews my faith and gives me peace, especially with all of the negative people in the world and in our country and in politics, in the USA. God is always in control and evil although real and present is shortlived. I just need to try to keep positive and keep praying for peace in our country and the world and keep my eyes on God alone.

Amen, Brigette. My own family has been ripped apart since my dear father passed away in 2011. I know what it's like to feel abandoned by many family members, when I had a brainstem stroke in November of that year! I do not understand why and I've stopped asking them. All I know is I am grateful to the Holy Trinity for getting me through the last nine years. I urge everyone to repent and turn to Jesus! We aren't promised a tomorrow. Pray, pray, and pray. As St. Padre Pio said, pray, do not worry, pray. Or something like that! It's early in the morning and I forget the exact words.Let's pray for all families torn by strife and stress. Reach out to them and don't stop praying for them to forgive and let Jesus into their hearts. As my priest once said, if you have any hate in your heart, Jesus cannot get in!I pray for families to put aside grudges and petty differences. Do you want to lose your loved one and have regrets about your last words? I sure don't. Whatever it is, we must forgive our brothers and sisters 77 times, as Jesus said. Go to that person and say, all is forgiven. Before it is too late and they pass to face God's judgment. God bless y'all. LOVE and hugs, Lisa

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!!
