About

Latin Prayer

Features
Read full description

Latin Prayer brings the traditional prayers of the Church into your hand — to pray, every day. THE MASS The Traditional Latin Mass, in full: the complete Ordinary of the 1962 Missale Romanum with the proper texts of the day — the Introit, Collect, Epistle, Gradual, Gospel, Offertory, Secret, Communion and Postcommunion for every day of the year. The Latin leads, and a tap on any line gives you your own language — so you stay in the Latin, with help exactly where you need it. Today's feast, its class and its vestment colour are named. Parts the rubrics leave out today stay closed, and open at a tap. The sign of the cross, the bows, striking the breast, the genuflections, the bell, and when to kneel, sit and stand are marked where they happen — so you can follow the Mass without losing your place. THE ROSARY Pray the Rosary with the Latin and your own language side by side, with Latin audio. The app knows the day's mysteries — in the traditional fifteen or the twenty including the Luminous, whichever you pray. A quiet daily grid marks the days you prayed, so the habit becomes something you can see. THE LATIN BIBLE Read Sacred Scripture in the Vulgate with your language alongside it, verse by verse. Bookmark the words that stay with you. THE PRAYERS Nearly forty traditional prayers with interlinear translation and Latin audio — morning and evening, before and after meals, the great prayers of the Church. THE SAINTS Over a hundred saints on the traditional calendar: the saint the Church remembers today, and the feasts still to come. Each with a biography, a feast date, and beautiful artwork. EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE A guided examination to prepare for Confession, in the old form. LEARN THE LATIN Vocabulary through spaced repetition, building your understanding of the prayers one word at a time. YOURS, EVERYWHERE Sign in and your bookmarks, notes and prayer history follow you across your devices — free. And it all works offline, wherever you are. Six languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Latin. Light, dark, and a warm parchment theme for long reading. Adjustable type. A clean, distraction-free interface, made for people who mean it. Everything needed in order to pray is free. No ads, no pay-to-pray. Support is welcome and entirely optional. Pray the old prayers — daily. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.latinprayer.org/privacy-app --- Questions?
