Liturgy of the Hours

Not available

Prayer Hours

Never Miss an Hour of Prayer This Lent

Lent is a season of intention.

It is a time to return, to recommit, and to deepen our prayer. This year, we are inviting you to make a simple but powerful Lenten commitment:

Pray at least one Hour of the Liturgy of the Hours each day.

To help you keep that commitment, we are excited to introduce a new feature:

Prayer Reminders (Now in Beta)

You can now set personalized reminders for any of the Liturgy of the Hours prayers — both on the website and inside our mobile apps.

Whether it’s Morning Prayer before work, Midday Prayer during a quiet break, or Night Prayer before bed, you can now receive a gentle reminder to pause and pray.

The Best Experience: Use the App

The prayer reminder feature is fully available in our mobile apps for:

Once you download the app:

  • Open the Menu

  • Tap Reminders

  • Select any of the Liturgy of the Hours prayers

  • Choose your preferred time

  • Save

That’s it.

Your phone will gently remind you when it’s time to pray.

If you’re making a Lenten commitment this year, the app is the simplest way to stay faithful to it.

You Can Also Set Reminders on the Website (Beta)

If you prefer using the website, you can now configure e-mail reminders inside your user profile:

👉 Profile → Reminders

From there, you can:

  • Enable e-mail reminders for any Hour

  • Set custom times

  • Select your timezone

  • Update or disable reminders at any time

Don’t have an account yet? You can sign up and setup your e-mail reminders in one go:

This feature is currently in beta, and we welcome your feedback as we continue refining it.

O Lord, make haste to help me.”

Let us pray.
