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.

Review for the Divine Office application
Very useful for Catholic people to pry the breviary... Thanks for the help to be in touch with God.
Keep going...

On readers' dramatization
This app is one of my favorites, in fact a most useful one, at least for me as a priest and a religious. Thank you so much to the developers and God bless you more! But as I really use it as an aid to prayer when I'm mobile, I get distracted by the way some of your readers (1 male in particular and 1 or 2 females) dramatize or overdo their expressions, when actually the important thing, according to me, is proper pronunciation, enunciation and speed. I believe that with the readers' main concern being a more sober and prayerful carrying out of their noble task of proclaiming the Word of God, then this wonderful app truly becomes an aid to prayer.
Very helpful!
This application always makes me to remember my vocation to be holy in all time of my life.
