Vigil – Biblical Daily Prayer
“Because monks show great sloth in their devotional service
if they recite less in the course of a week than the Psalter with the accustomed canticles,
seeing that we read our holy fathers strenuously accomplished in one day this which, oh, that we tepid ones may fulfil in a whole week!”
— St. Benedict of Nursia, Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 18
Enter into the rhythm of sacred time with Vigil, a Christian prayer app inspired by the monastic traditions of the Carthusian and Benedictine Orders. Vigil is designed to form a disciplined, Scripture-centered prayer life rooted in the practice of the early Church and the monastic tradition.
At the heart of Vigil is the ancient monastic rhythm of prayer:
the Psalms prayed in one week and the whole of Sacred Scripture read in one year.
