What Is in the Prayer Book
The Prayer Book gathers the prayers the Church has prayed for centuries: the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Creed, the Rosary and the litanies, but also morning and evening prayers, prayers for the sick, for the dead, for the family and for those who suffer. Everything is arranged by category, so what you are looking for is easy to find.
The same collection exists in nine languages. Anyone praying with a family scattered across the world, or in a parish where several languages are spoken, can open the same prayer in the language they need, with a tap on a flag, without hunting through menus.
Categories
The prayers are arranged as follows:
Basic Prayers Professions of Faith Marian Prayers Prayers to Jesus Christ Prayers to the Holy Spirit Eucharistic Prayers Prayers to Angels Rosary Litany Prayer of the Hours (unofficial) Morning Prayer Evening Prayer Psalm-inspired Prayer Intercessory Prayer Acts of the Theological Virtues Penitential Prayers Grace at Meals Prayers for the Dead
How It Works
The Prayer Book is made so that a prayer is only two taps away, and so that it works even when there is no signal.
- Nine languages with flags. A tap on a flag changes both the interface and the prayers. One choice, not two menus.
- Listed by category. All the prayers in the chosen language, sorted, with an alphabetical index when there are many.
- Search. It searches titles and the text of the prayers alike, so remembering a single line is enough.
- Reading aloud. The Prayer Book reads the prayer aloud and highlights the passage it is speaking.
- Font size. Six sizes, with a single tap. For eyes that small print no longer suits.
- Works offline. After the first visit everything is on your device. In church, in hospital, on a train: it makes no difference.
Which Languages
Croatian, English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Polish, Portuguese and Slovenian. Each language has prayers of its own, not a machine translation of the Croatian.
For the Blind and Partially Sighted
The Prayer Book reads the prayer aloud and highlights the passage it is speaking, so it is easy to follow where you are. It takes the voice from your device, so it reads in the language you have chosen if the device has a voice for it.
The lettering is enlarged and reduced with a single tap, in six steps. Everything can be operated without a mouse as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to register or pay?
No. The Prayer Book is free, with no registration, no adverts and no tracking of users.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After the first visit it is saved to your device and works from then on without a network. On a phone it can be added to the home screen, and it then behaves like an app.
Is there a Windows version?
Yes. There is also a Windows program with the same prayers, the same languages and reading aloud.
May I suggest a prayer that is missing?
Please do, and we will be grateful. Send us the title and the text of the prayer and we will add it if it is free to publish.
