"For in sacrifice you take no delight,burnt offering from me you would refuse,my sacrifice, a contrite spirit,A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn."Psalm 51:16-17Am I Poor Enough, Lord?You said the poor in spirit, Lord,Are blessed, receive a rich reward.Not those who boast of what they’ve done,But those who bow and say, “I’ve none.”The world exalts the strong, the wise,The noble soul that others prize.Yet You call blessed those who fall—The lowly ones who give their all.I thought the seminary wayWould win Your favor, day by day.My zeal was mine, my crown alone;I built a kingdom, not Your throne.My love for crowds once pushed me through,But pleasing men was far from You.They placed me high, I wore their crown,And learned Your way begins with down.For poverty of spirit showsWe drop the props, let go of pose—To stand before You, bare, undone,And whisper softly, “I’ve none.”It’s like the beggar at Your gateWho waits and learns, and learns to wait.No pride, no claim, no virtue still—Just empty hands to meet Your will.So here I come with a trembling heart,Confused and drifting in the dark.My trust is thin, my doubts revealHow hard it is for wounds to heal.I long to yield, to give, to fill—To lay my life before Your will.Yet fears and questions haunt me still:Am I pleasing to You still?

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!!
