▶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.
