Though the catechism was written by Martin Luther in 1529, its question and answer format provides Christians with a timeless and easy-to-use guidebook that is applicable to all the various callings we have in life. The Small Catechism explores the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. It also includes daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians, and a guide for Christians to use as they prepare to receive Holy Communion.

Pray Morning, Midday, Evening, and Compline (bedtime) prayer from the Book of Common Prayer (2019), every day, wherever you are. The Daily Office sets out each office on one page, in order: no flipping between sections, no looking up readings in the lectionary, no rubrics to decode. Join Christians around the world in the pattern of daily prayer the Church has kept since its earliest days. WHAT'S INSIDE • Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Compline for every day of the year • Family Prayer: shorter devotions in the same pattern, for households with children • The day's readings on their own, for Morning and Evening Prayer and the Holy Eucharist • The whole Psalter, searchable and arranged by topic, in contemporary or traditional language • Collects for the Christian year, the offices, and many occasions • The Great Litany • A calendar of the Christian year, with every feast, fast, and commemoration in its liturgical color • Lives of the saints, with traditions and further reading for each commemoration PRAY ANYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE The days ahead download on their own, up to two months of the offices, Family Prayer, and the readings for your settings, so you can pray on a plane, on retreat, or anywhere without a signal. Keep the spoken office for today and tomorrow too, and the app refreshes your downloads in the background. PRAY ALONG WITH AUDIO Every office can be read aloud, with each word highlighted as it is spoken. Audio keeps playing with your screen locked, and you can pause, skip, and scrub from the lock screen or your headphones. BOOK VIEW Pray an office one page at a time, turning the pages like a printed prayer book, with nothing else on the screen. On iPhone Duo, open it like a book and the office opens to two pages, one on each side of the fold. PODCASTS Prefer your podcast app?
