Read Scripture with the early Church. Latria brings Scripture, the Church Fathers, early Christian writings, and the Ecumenical Councils together in one quiet place for reading, study, and prayer. Rooted in the apostolic Christian tradition, Latria draws on the faith received from Christ, preached by the Apostles, and reflected on by the early Church. Latria is for Catholics, Christians from other historic apostolic traditions, and anyone who wants to encounter Scripture in conversation with the early Church. Whether you are reading privately, studying with others, or looking for a quieter way to begin the day, Latria brings Scripture, reflection, and prayer together. Read Scripture and discover how the early Church read and understood it through the voices of some of the earliest Christian theologians and interpreters of Scripture. When a verse raises a question, explore commentary from the Church Fathers and the Catena Aurea, follow cross-references, and reflect more deeply on what you are reading. Go beyond the Bible text alone. Encounter the Church Fathers in their own words, explore the Ecumenical Councils that shaped historic Christianity, and hear from early Christian witnesses who helped articulate, defend, and hand on the faith. Scroll through daily Scripture passages and reflections at a slower, more prayerful pace. Turn to traditional Catholic prayers and the Scriptural Rosary when you want a guided rhythm of devotion, and save the verses, notes, and discoveries you want to return to.
