Ad Orientem

14 day free trial then, $3.49 a month for full access.

Ad Orientem is a complete Byzantine Catholic horologion in your pocket — every prayer of the Daily Office, exactly as the Church prays it, in elegant Cinzel and Cardo typography, free of any distraction.

Pray the full cycle of the Office on any day of the year, in English or Spanish, with the propers automatically set for that day's feast, fast, tone of the week, and Octoechos:

• Vespers, Orthros (Matins), the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts during Lent, and Compline, with all stichera, troparia, kontakia, prokeimena, alleluia verses, and communion verses set for the day.

• The Hours — First, Third, Sixth, Ninth, and Midnight Office — with the appointed psalms.

• The full daily Scripture readings (Epistle and Gospel) according to the Byzantine Ruthenian Typicon, followed by patristic commentary drawn from the Catena Aurea — Chrysostom, Augustine, Bede, Aquinas, and the Eastern Fathers.

• A live calendar of the day's saints and feasts, with biographies and the tone of the week.

• A built-in Scripture browser with search.

• Hesychia: a dedicated tab for the Jesus Prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"), a rotating penitential psalm of the day, and an optional reminder you can set every 15, 30, 60, or 180 minutes — or never.

• Intercede: a private, anonymous community for sharing prayer intentions and committing to pray for the intentions of others. Every intention is automatically translated between English and Spanish so the whole community can pray together. Pinned intentions appear at the top of every Hour and inside the Great Litany at Orthros and Vespers — uniting the prayer of the Office with the needs of real souls.

• Complete English / Spanish bilingual interface — every prayer, every rubric, every intention.

Built for monks, parishioners, catechumens, and any layperson who wants to keep the Office. No ads, no tracking, no analytics, no account required.
