The Spanish Liturgy of the Hours and the New U.S. Translation
Please Note
This is the Liturgy of the Hours for August 30. Your local date is .
Dear community,
As we begin a new liturgical year this Advent, we are filled with hope and anticipation — both for the coming of Christ at Christmas and for the mission and growth of DivineOffice.org.
Over the years, your prayers and support have helped us reach hundreds of thousands of faithful around the world, making the Liturgy of the Hours accessible and a true place of prayer for the community. Next year we are taking on new challenges for the greater glory of God.
Plans for the future
We are preparing two major initiatives:
- Spanish Translation and Audio Recording of the Liturgy of the Hours
In 2026 we plan to extend the reach of our Divine Office ministry and produce faithful translations and high-quality audio recordings of the full Liturgy of the Hours in Spanish. We don’t strive to be publishers of text, but rather facilitators of Liturgical prayer. Divine Office has already gathered together diverse communities and a growing number of our users speak Spanish as their primary language. We hope that praying in Spanish will be felt both as connecting with one’s cultural and spiritual heritage and a meaningful way to worship and feel part of the public prayer of the Church, Christ’s Mystical Body. - Recording the New U.S. Translation
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is finalizing a new official English translation of the Liturgy of the Hours. We will make every effort to secure permissions and royalty arrangements in order to prepare for the upcoming translation.
Both of these initiatives will require considerable time, talent, and financial resources. And both will expand our mission to make the official prayer of the Church available in more languages and formats, for a global and growing prayer community.
How you can be part of the effort
We are running an year-end fundraiser now through the Baptism of the Lord. Help us to strengthen our bonds, grow our numbers and prepare for the future.
Your contributions will go directly toward:
- Review of Spanish texts to prepare for recording
- Recording editing and producing Spanish audio
- Platform updates to support multilingual content
- Licensing costs for the new translation

Every gift helps. Even a small monthly contribution makes a big difference when given faithfully.
Thank You for Being Part of This Community
You are not supporting just a website or an app. You are helping thousands pray daily, many for the first time. It’s with your help that prayer reaches the most vulnerable of us, the homebound, the visually impaired, the lonely, and the many seeking a deeper relationship with God.
Thank you for praying with us.
Thank you for being the hands and heart of Divine Office.

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!!

Please, for readers, get people who are trained in public speaking. In the current version, the misplaced emphases on prepositions is very distracting. We will double our current monthly contribution to help with this very appreciated liturgical prayer aid.
I would love to donate to Divineoffice.org, however, I will not use LINK or send a cheque. Is there a possible way to allow people to use Visa or Mastercard payments to Divine Office. I live in Canada , please indicate this on your donations way of donation. Thank you
Hello Lydia, yes you can, use the contribution form, fill in the Shipping information and Payment method fields with the required details and you will be able to donate with a card from anywhere in the world. Thank you for your kind intention to help our work.

As a Spanish speaking devout this is amazing. I wish that also they come to make a Liturgy of the Hour in physical books with the 4 editions. I have the Spanish version of the Hispanic communities but I wish I can have the English version translated to Spanish. That would be amazing….
I really enjoy this website and praying the prayers thru out of the day surely if by the grace of God and will of God I’ll start religious life in 2026 with the Franscian Conventuals I’m sure they will provide,” the books” how wet until such time I’ll continue using this site and I’ll grateful for all you do, sometime.i hope I can make a donation that you for all you do !BlessingsRyan
