    Let’s pray for Pope Francis, all the bishops, cardinals and priests, that the magisterium may be true to God’s Word and the sacred traditions of the church. Pray for these leaders that they may be enlightened by Jesus Christ and evangelize in the one true faith. If they need to be converted, Lord, please do so if it is Your will. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen!

    Hi PatreceLet us follow the example of our Lord Jesus Christ.He taught so much about: Loving God and Neighbors and He lived what He taught us:let us start with the Lord’s Prayer: the Our Father…”Forgive Us Our Trespasses as We forgive those who trespass against Us”…what does those words means to all of us? Forgive others who have hurt us, so that we also may receive forgiveness from God and from those we have wronged. This is the fulfillment of the commandment of Love. Mt. 6:14-15 Let’s Turn to Jesus Himself in John 8:3-11 the story of a woman caught in adultery: the old law was that any woman caught in adultery must be stoned to death but not the man who was her accomplice. In this interview with the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus shows the true meaning of love your neighbor as yourself: He teaches that we (humans) are all sinners, therefore, before you accuse and judge anyone else as a sinner, ask yourself self: am Innocent? Am free of any Sin. Truth is we are all sinners, then why do we tend to point fingers to others? Because we don’t want hurting or have I’ll-feeling about ourselves.on the cross: before Jesus died he fulfilled the command of loving God and neighbor unconditionally. He knew he was innocent, he showed his power to the soldiers who came to seize him in the garden when he asked them: whom are you looking for? They slipped back and fell to the ground Jn.18:4-6 He presented himself and let himself be captured and die a shameful death to redeem us. The apex of his love for God and humans is in these words: Father, forgive them, they know not what they do. LK.23:34 when we hold hatred and grudges simply because so and so has done evil, that person isn’t aware of my feelings, in fact he/she may have resolved to amend his/her life without me knowing and yet it is me that is undergoing the hurt and the pain.what is the remedy: Accept what happened, If you can correct the person do it in love and respect.Take it as a lesson so you, too do not end up doing same error/sin.Pray for conversion of sinners.Offer the pain you feel, the betrayal you undergo to Jesus as part of your sacrifice uniting your self with the Suffering Jesus for Sanctification of the world.

    Dear Patrice: please let us pray together for the people who in their humanness offended our God. Let us pray for the conversion of all evildoers. For we are given free will. Pray that we will use our free will for our God alone, for we are His people and He is our God. All to Jesus through Mary.

    I understand how you feel. I will pray for you.

    Dear Patrice,I understand your pain. I worked for one such leader in the Church for 10 years. While I didn’t know his story, for the first 9 years; it was extremely painful when it all came out. One of the ways I healed was to focus on the many very good priests I’ve known over my lifetime. One who literally saved my life from suicide when my fiance died. Beyond that, I learned if I prayed for conversion of the unfaithful leaders I began to forgive these flawed men. I hope this may be of some help to you. May God bless you.

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!!
