Lord, open my lips.
— And my mouth will proclaim your praise.
Ant. Let us listen to the voice of God, let us enter into his rest.
Psalm 100
Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy.
Ant. Let us listen to the voice of God, let us enter into his rest.
Know that he, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to him,
we are his people, the sheep of his flock.
Ant. Let us listen to the voice of God, let us enter into his rest.
Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his courts with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.
Ant. Let us listen to the voice of God, let us enter into his rest.
Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal his merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.
Ant. Let us listen to the voice of God, let us enter into his rest.
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. Let us listen to the voice of God, let us enter into his rest.

Prays for Antoine who is 36 years old and constantly making decisions most of his life that always bring him problems and trouble. He expects others to always help him out of his bad situations instead of doing the right thing to begin with. Baptize him Lord in your life and lead him.

Have your children left the Church? If you are planning your funeral arrangements in advance, be sure to add this note in your folder that your family will use: "Heaven won't be Heaven unless you're there with me."

I pray for my friend that she may find relief and comfort during her flares of lupus and that the Lord will touch her and heal her completely, if it is according to His will. I also lift up her financial difficulties, that the Lord will provide her with the funds she needs to pay off her debts.

O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures made you worthy to possess miraculous powers. I entrust to you those who have fallen away from the faith, who have lost their way and feel distant from God.

The canonization for Pier Giorgio has been moved. I'd planned on going to it, as he's my saint. Please pray that there will be a seamless way for my current trip to be moved to the new date and that I can still go to his canonization.

The eyes of the world are once again turned to Rome, where the 2025 Conclave has begun. As the doors of the Sistine Chapel closed and the words “Extra omnes” (“Everyone out!”) echoed through the sacred space, the Cardinal electors entered into one of the most solemn and prayerful tasks of their vocation: to discern, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who will be the next successor to St. Peter.

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!!
