"There is another fear that comes from a filthy conscience. That’s bad. It comes from being dishonest with one’s self."So true, Tom. That filthy conscience is called narcissism, and that fear is what we see acted out today in every area of life. That is why there are senseless wars. That is why people lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, and every one of the seven deadly sins without compunction. Many of them hide under our church pews. Narcissism is the pandemic of our time. The only cure is Jesus Christ yet the tragedy is the narcissist lacks the courage to own their sins before the Holy Face of Christ because it was easier for them to become minions of Satan. God bless you!

I was deeply moved listening to the Ave Maria. I would ask for prayer for all of my sons, in particular, for Joseph in his recovery, for Anthony to have some relief from the pain in his back, for Phillip to listen better. & for Daniel to have a deep hunger for God. & God’s Word.

<strong> I read this sentence:</strong><strong>“He made the sea; it belongs to him,</strong><strong>the dry land, too, for it was formed by his hands.”</strong><strong>I haven’t been to the ocean in years. But I imagined myself standing in the ocean with the waves around me & saying, “This sea belongs to God. I’m just borrowing it for a few minutes. The same for every flowerbed I dig and dirt I walk on. </strong>

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!!
