## What is Vigilemus?

Vigilemus — Latin for "let us keep watch" — is a Catholic daily prayer companion.

• Today: the day's Mass readings in the Douay-Rheims, the Church Fathers on the day's Gospel (Catena Aurea), the liturgical season, Holy Days of Obligation, and a daily patristic reading. The readings, the calendar and the season follow the modern Roman Missal.
• The Hours: the complete Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary — Matins through Compline, season-aware, with the rubrics set apart from what is said aloud.
• The Rosary: all twenty mysteries with their fruits, a guided player, and the prayers in full.
• The Stations of the Cross: St. Alphonsus Liguori's way, one station to a screen, offered on the Fridays of Lent and on Good Friday.
• Prayers, chaplets and litanies: the common prayers of the Church with their traditional rubrics; the Seven Dolours and the Chaplet of St. Michael; and seven litanies — the Holy Name, Loreto, the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, the Saints, the Precious Blood and Humility.
• Narration, inside the app: three hours of spoken audio ship with Vigilemus — every hour of the Little Office, the Rosary, the prayers and the litanies, 235 recordings in all. Nothing streams and nothing is downloaded, so an hour can be prayed with no signal at all. The chaplets and the Stations are text.
• Novenas: a calendar-aware novena tracker that knows when each novena must begin to end on its feast, with optional reminders.
• Reference: the whole Douay-Rheims Bible, the Catena Aurea on the four Gospels, a treasury of patristic readings, and search across it all — a passage by its reference, a prayer by its name, a line of the Little Office.

Every text is public domain or in free devotional use. The app works entirely offline and collects nothing — no account, no analytics, no advertising.

No ecclesiastical approbation is claimed for this app.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-09-30

The Stations of the Cross — St. Alphonsus Liguori's way, one station to a screen, offered on the Fridays of Lent and on Good Friday.

Chaplets: the Seven Dolours of Our Lady and the Chaplet of St. Michael, with a counter for the beads.

Narration for every prayer on the Prayers tab and for the seven litanies, inside the app — nothing to download.

New prayers for Mass and Adoration: the Confiteor, the Gloria, the Sanctus, the Agnus Dei, "Lord, I am not worthy", O Sacrum Convivium, the Tantum Ergo and the Divine Praises — and the Jesus Prayer.

The calendar names the saints on their memorials. The readings, the calendar and the novena schedule follow the modern Roman Missal throughout, and the Missal setting has been retired.

The Prayer to St. Michael is now the one Pope Leo XIII ordered said after Low Mass, set from the 1914 printing that carries it.

Search finds a passage by its reference ("Psalm 23", "John 3:16"), a prayer by the words of its name, and a line of the Little Office. The Fathers now print the Gospel verses above their commentary.

At the largest text sizes the headings scroll away with the text, and the Rosary can be stepped through in silence.

The readings, the Fathers and the novenas were reviewed and corrected throughout.
