Description

All the Mass readings plus all the Liturgy of the Hours!

“The Divine Office is... the prayer not only of the clergy but of the whole People of God.”

Universalis is a missal and a breviary, and more besides. It gives you the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office) and the Mass for every day; plus valuable additional material.

The Catholic Calendar app lets you join in with the tens of thousands of people who use Universalis daily, through a free app plus a small monthly subscription of roughly $0.99 / £0.79 / €0.99 (the App Store will tell you the exact figure). If you prefer a single purchase instead of a monthly subscription, get the Universalis app instead of the Catholic Calendar app.

WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE

• The “About Today” page tells you what saints are being celebrated today, not only in your region but worldwide. It includes reflections and biographies.

Relative newbie

I am a protestant. He is looking for a way to deepen my Prayer life. This app seems to be the one to do that. It is a nice app, and I appreciate the free trial. I also appreciate that it accessible to the blind. I know that after the free trial, I am probably going to have to delete the app. I simply cannot afford a subscription or one time purchase. i’m blind disabled, and I can’t afford that kind of money. I’m on a fixed income, and after rent and bills. There’s nothing left for subscriptions of this kind. Or, even one time purchases of apps. It would be nice if there was a free version of this app somehow. Would use it daily if there was. Keep up the good work, and God is proud of you.

Church Calendar App, G-O-A-T!

In less than 10 days, the Church Calendar app has opened the doors for me to daily praying the DivineOffice/Liturgy of the Hours (DO/LH). Highlights for me (a non-techy) include:
Seamless integration between Functions and Features
Intuitive Use
And best of all - the app has made praying the DO/LH a daily reality rather than a spiritual goal I aspire to.
If you ever wanted to pray throughout the day with and as the Church prays, take the Church Calendar up on its 30 day free trial run (no gimmicks). Your personal prayer life will be rocked!

The best

I have been using this app for around 10 years. I use it every morning to look at the saint of the day and the mass readings I find the commentary for the mass readings to be most helpful. Recently I have begun listening to the weekly podcast which comments on the liturgy of the hours and the lives of the various Saints.
I can't imagine how my life would be without the inspiration and instruction I gain from using this app.
