Excellent value for daily dedicated prayer routine thank you

Excellent value, thank you to the developers, for my daily dedicated prayer routine. Excellent for Catholics and any person looking to develop a good valued prayer life and spiritual life, routine around their busy daily work life or just on my day off at home. I was in the seminary for a while. I find I am still able to continue with a regular prayer routine around my day. Having the hours simultaneously on the audio tracks is an excellent tool for me. The audio tracks are so excellent, as I am able to regularly listen to the tracks playing on my way to work. Or even quick quiet moments on my work breaks. Very Helpful for Relaxing and calming down in a short meditational moment, on my morning commute to work. Reflecting the last psalm phrases or even re- listen to those words, in those often moments that I’m tempted to become annoyed or frustrated with challenges like traffic jams, lights and railway crossing hold ups. I find I can use these moments to ponder or even re listen to, and see it as a moment for prayer and focus on the lord, time to practice my patience, and trust in Jesus, as I am going about my daily challenges. I can even listen to the angelus or rosaries or mass readings of the day. Has changed my life and I’m more focused on the Lord and Mary’s requests for regular prayers, from her appearances at Medjugorje.

This is an excellent resource. It has comprehensive content, including the scripture readings for each day’s Mass, information about the saints whose feast day falls on each day, prayers in common use, the daily spiritual readings in the Divine Office (or ‘Hours’), together with the full Divine Office for each ‘hour’ of each day. It is well laid-out and easy to navigate. And it has a beautiful look and feel, making it a pleasure to use. Finally, it is excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
