What's New in Lumen Christi
v1.14.0
October 22, 2026
Prayer that keeps going with you. The Bible, the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Stations, the short Hours and the day's readings now read aloud through the whole app, as hymns do, and carry on when you leave the page, with one set of lock-screen controls. The Bible reopens where you stopped. Daily reminders arrive once, never twice. Day titles on the calendar and readings are corrected, and password-reset and invitation links now open the app and last a full day.
