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!!

Thinking of your post…. i recall anither grace of St. Therese. After having her meditatinon if she raalized someone had come into her mind, she would lift them up to our Lord and say, “make of my distractions a ptayer.” Always trusting in His merciful love.
Me too! I had ti go back snd reread the prayer.
Distractions in prayer are normal as we move from natural perception (senses) to awareness within the soul. Every distraction is an opportunity for self-denial and tuning the heart and soul to God. If in 10 minutes of prayer one is distracted 100 times, that is 100 time you denied yourself and turned your heart to God – this is prayer. Commitment to this by grace disposes the soul to God’s transforming union, leading to deeper prayer (relationship) and union with God. WHAT IS PRAYER?“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux – Catechism of the Catholic Church #2558)
MichaelYou put a wonderful spin on the distractions and often lack of focus I encounter in prayer. Now while I try to stay focused and not distracted, when I fail, it is a reaffirmation of an opportunity for self denial and Gods love for me (us)
It seems that lack of focus is part of our human condition… but God is happy with our desire and motive to draw near to Him. He hides behind the clouds like the Sun – He is there always shining and soon shows His light once again. I write this to you as I am in a state where the clouds are thick – thank you for reminding me of this thought – from St. Therese of Lisieux… God be with us all…
Deacon Don, Thank you for answering God’s call to your vocation as a deacon. Peace, Jim
Deacon Don,I often am distracted as I read the Office. When this happens, I normally stop reading ang pray to both the Holy Spirit and my Guardian Angel for help. I ask them to take away the distraction so that I can be intentional about the meaning of the reading. Most of the time when I go back to the Office I can continue uninterrupted. Peace, Jim
Great advice. Sune times it’s our weakness / tiredness. Or it can even be other “ dark forces” making it difficult for us to say our prayers / duties ( of, deacon or secular religious order )
Deacon Don CThank you for your reflection on lack of focus. My mind often wanders and then I have a problem of trying to analyze why I wasn’t paying attention to what I should. Perhaps it is deepening my faith, at least I hope so.
