Lord, open my lips.
— And my mouth will proclaim your praise.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
Psalm 24
The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world and all its peoples.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the waters he made it firm.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The man with clean hands and pure heart,
who desires not worthless things,
who has not sworn so as to deceive his neighbor.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
He shall receive blessings from the Lord
and reward from the God who saves him.
Such are the men who seek him,
seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
O gates, lift high your heads;
grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
Who is the king of glory?
The Lord, the mighty, the valiant,
the Lord, the valiant in war.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
O gates, lift high your heads;
grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
Who is he, the king of glory?
He, the Lord of armies,
he is the king of glory.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. The Lord is risen, alleluia.

Praying 4 all those who struggle w/anxiety-depression. God please fill them w/ your love & peace. What has helped me is when I get anxious is I pray the rosary &/or hold the cross &/or listen to relaxing music. When I have trouble sleeping I pray or just talk 2 God. Bless yourself often w/Holy Water

Please help me to live this day so as to reflect the Love of Christ Jesus to everyone I meet especially, the homeless, the sorrowful, the outcast; all who have been cast aside by this satanic system, the unholy trinity of power, privilege, and pleasure.

Pray for our country, The U.S., that people would turn back to Almighty God and reject the sins that have fallen on our country. Return to the foundation of our country, of God and His 10 commandments and moral foundation. We have deeply strayed from God and only He can save us from this moral rot.

Heavenly Father, have mercy on our friend, Joe, who is so lost since the sudden death of his wife. Help us to know how to support him when he returns to an empty house, eats at a lonely kitchen table and tries to sleep alone after 47 years together. She is so missed by us all, grant us your mercy.

Pray the Rosary
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!!
