Description
Lumen Christi is one home for your Catholic devotional life - the daily Mass readings, the Bible you actually pray with, the hymns you grew up with, and the Catechism, in a single, quietly beautiful app.
No more juggling four apps before breakfast. Open Lumen Christi each morning to today's Lectionary readings, the Rosary cued to the right mystery, a Verse of the Day that follows the liturgical season, and a hymn for the day's Mass.

Nouveautés (vVersion 1.3.6)
Small fixes for a steadier prayer life.
• Prayer Reminders now work reliably. Setting your Morning Prayer and Divine Mercy times no longer closes the app, and reminders are kept right on your device — so they reach you even offline.
• On the great days, the home screen now names the feast correctly. Pentecost, Holy Week, the Easter Triduum, and Trinity Sunday show their proper titles instead of a plain Sunday count.
Light of Christ — wherever your day takes you.
