Description
The Divine Office App is an opportunity for you to participate in the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours, an ancient and meditative collection of psalms, hymns and scripture that represent the public prayer of the Christian community.
If you are unable to pray in community, but love the contentment of praying with others, a praised feature of the Divine Office App lets you view locations where other Christians around the world are simultaneously praying with you.
This version is the official prayer book of the Catholic Church, however, it is suitable for all Christian faith traditions. It contains the official text and audio of daily prayers from the Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Catholic Church (Breviary) and has been approved for use in the United States by USCCB.
The Divine Office App is designed to make praying more convenient, enjoyable, and simple enough for anyone to use. It automatically downloads the appropriate prayers for each office, every day of the year, including Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials.
When St. Paul advises us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing,” he intends more than simply bowing our heads and speaking to God on a regular basis. He means for us to adopt an ongoing attitude of prayer that is a way of life and a constant intercession for the salvation of all mankind.
As the mystical body of Christ prays in unison, it fulfills what Paul advises as Christian conduct, that believers at once pray for the good of themselves, their neighbors, and the world. In this way, prayers become liturgy, a way to fulfill our divine calling and a practical approach for addressing the suffering of the world.

Ratings and Reviews
Love This ! Wonderful App❤️👏🏻
This is so beautifully done as it looks like a real missal and the audio of various voices makes me feel as if I am in a real church. I love the little extra touches like the bell at the start of each service and tiny cymbal to mark each quiet reflection.
It includes all the services for the entire day and each one remembers the particular feast or saint. Even though I was brought up a Protestant I love to keep up with the church year and say the liturgy each day and this beautiful App makes that so easy to do. Love that I can access all services in advance offline, simply by downloading a week of prayers. Brilliant and worth every penny. Thank you to all who made this App and for all the hours of work it took to produce it!🙏🏻
Excellent App - helps keep me focused on prayer
Is app is very helpful in keeping me focused on prayer 🙏throughout the day. It’s in audio or you can simply read each prayer relating to the divine office. The hymns are sung so beautifully - as are the psalms. The scripture readings are powerful and offer praise and thanksgiving to God
And incredibly it’s free
The settings allow you to have a reminder on your phone when to say each of the 7 prayers throughout the day . I carry earphones with me so wherever I am I can listen to it l love the way the bells 🔔 ring out at the start of each of the liturgy of the hours and how the night prayer allows for a few minutes silent reflection. I now use this app everyday- it is wonderful, thank you.
Brilliant App
Can’t recommend this App enough! Don’t even know where to start! It’s very convenient and very practical it means that a person can engage offline and you can just plug in your headphones and you’re off! Prior to downloading the DivineOffice App, saying the office daily it involved a lot of faffing and I had to access different things in order to say the office. With this App it takes all the hassle away, and it makes you want to pray more and more each day! Fantastic job to all those who have created this App, truly love it 🙏💖🙏
