iPhone
Build a daily Scripture habit. Add a verse to your Home Screen, read the full Catholic Bible, pray with the saints, and share today's verse.
Ora is a quiet place to meet God every day.
Read the complete Catholic Bible, pray with the saints, and build a daily habit of Scripture — one day at a time.
THE COMPLETE CATHOLIC BIBLE
All 73 books, including the deuterocanon. Read in the Catholic Public Domain Version (modern, readable English) or the classic Douay-Rheims — fully offline, no internet required.
HOURLY SCRIPTURE ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Add the Ora widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and a new verse meets you there every hour — no need to open the app.
A DAILY VERSE WORTH SHARING
Every morning, Ora brings you a hand-picked verse. Turn it into a beautiful image and share it with friends and family in one tap — bring a little Scripture to your feed.
TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC PRAYERS
A growing library of prayers from the Church's treasury: the Our Father, Hail Mary, Memorare, Anima Christi, prayers of the saints, and more — with the history behind each one.
BUILD A HABIT THAT LASTS
A gentle streak keeps you coming back: read a chapter or pray a prayer, and your day counts. Miss a morning? Ora gives you grace, not guilt.
GUIDED READING PLANS
Follow the Catholic Bible in a Year, journey through the Gospels in 40 days, pray the Psalms in a month, or take a 7-day topical plan on anxiety, hope, or Our Lady.
SEE YOUR JOURNEY
Watch your progress across all 73 books on a beautiful reading map. Every chapter you finish fills in a little more of the story.
MADE FOR CATHOLICS, OPEN TO ALL
Ora is built with a Catholic heart — the full canon, traditional prayers, reverent design — and welcomes every Christian who wants to grow closer to God through Scripture.
