## What is Breviarium Meum?

This is the iPhone version of Breviarium Meum, which allows you to pray the traditional (1962 or earlier) Latin breviary of the Catholic Church wherever you go. You can download the texts up to a week in advance, so you can pray even when you don't have a network connection. A parallel translation of the breviary (English, Danish*, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese*, or Spanish) and a collection of Latin prayers and blessings are also included. Select the background color and text size you prefer.

Use Breviarium Meum HD instead on iPad.

Pray the breviary you know in a new way, or get to know for the first time the Roman Liturgy in the Usus Antiquior, considered by Summorum Pontificum a precious treasure to be preserved and made accessible to all the faithful.

• The Danish and Portuguese translations are still incomplete. Several languages lack a translation of the martyrology. An English translation is used for those portions of the office not available in the selected language.

### 5/5 — Breviarium Romanum

*2026-03-14*

Muito bom, especialmente para o clero que tem o dever de rezar o Ofício Divino. Mas também ótimo para leigos que querem se aprofundar na leitura e meditação dps salmos.
Só gostaria que tivesse traduzido tudo para o Português do Brasil

### 5/5 — One Addition - Great App

*2025-11-20*

Love the app. Please also add Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Excelent

*2025-05-29*

Would be better with notifications and reminders to pray

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-08-01, version 1.9*

I was blown away by how straightforward this is, and you can even have the English translation of the readings/prayers side by side with the Latin.

### 5/5 — Thank you from an ex-friar

*2024-03-08*

I am glad you finally finished this project. I hope you are doing well.

### 4/5 — Hmmm

*2024-03-07*

i’m not getting any younger and, although i do have an iPhone, it’s not so easy to read off of.  I would love to put this app to use on my iPad.  i wish there was an iPad version.

### 5/5 — Love it!! Better than all others

*2024-02-22*

This Liturgy of the Hours has both English and Latin side by side to see the beautiful poetic prayers of old in their treasured original state. The prayers are the original prayers (unchanged, and unedited). This has really helped me to fall in love with liturgy of the hours due to the poetic and eloquent language used for the prayers, antiphones, and scripture passages.

### 5/5 — Top

*2022-06-08*

J’ai longtemps cherché une appli qui faisait le bréviaire St Pie V. Enfin trouvé !
Idéal pour suivre les offres des abbayes utilisant le rite ancien.

### 5/5 — Excelente em todos os aspectos!

*2021-09-28*

O melhor App do Ofício Divino atualmente para quem prefere o Rito Tradicional. É muito prático, além de montar todo o ofício do dia sozinho (inclusive com o texto do Martirológio para a Prima) ele também permite colocar várias opções de tradução paralela ou usar só o texto latino mesmo. Também é possível escolher entre a versão da Vulgata ou de Pio XII para o texto dos salmos. E tem as opções de ofício das edições típicas anteriores a 1960, o que é ótimo para estudo!

### 4/5 — Put the Little Office on here!

*2021-06-19, version 1.8*

This is an excellent app, and the texts are very smooth and easy to use, but I wish the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Officium Parvum Beatæ Mariæ Virginis) was on this app, considering it is available on DivinumOfficium.com.
