The little hours
Daily lay Catholic prayer
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A gentle rhythm of prayer for ordinary Catholic lay life.
The Little Hours brings morning, midday and evening prayer to your day — brief, unhurried moments drawn from the spirit of the Divine Office and written in plain, contemporary English.
MORNING · MIDDAY · EVENING
Three daily offices, each with its own atmosphere and beauty. Swipe through a psalm, a scripture reading, a moment of reflection, intercessions and a closing prayer — one section per screen, each fading gently into view.
DEEPER WITH EVERY PRAYER
Choose Short, Standard or Fuller length to suit the pace of your day. The content rotates from a large pool of psalms, scripture passages, reflections, examens and intercessions — enough variety to feel fresh every day for well over a year.
MUSIC FOR PRAYER
Each office plays its own background music — three tracks per time of day, chosen at random. Mute or unmute at any time during prayer.
DAILY REMINDERS
Set a reminder for each of the three offices at whatever time suits your day.
A quiet place in a noisy world.
