My AM GO To

Thanks for all daytime options, lectio, the hours, the weekly “look ahead” but especially the Mass Readings with commentaries by Hugh Wansbrough OSB. I find myself saying “never thought of this before” after a read of the HW commentary. Paul H Canada

Best app

Easy to use and very comprehensive

Lovely apps with a few small quirks

This app is an indispensable part of my routine as a Priest. The only fault I can find is that within the order of Mass not all the rubrics are there. I also dislike being charged more to have audio when I’ve already paid a lot just to have full use of the application. I find it odd that there is not the option to choose Fransiscan as an option for religious order.

Great Bible App

This app has all the bells and whistles, literally. All the daily readings you need, all the saint days, Catholic Art resources, audio if you want it. Awesome! Highly recommended!

With my Liturgy of the Hours prayer book this Universalis is a helpful guide to me when there are special feast days and just to follow along with the book. I don’t know what I would do without it.

So simple to use

I love the way this app works. Most of all, I am thankful for a version of the liturgy of the hours that serves Canadians (and others). Thank you!

Thank you

This app is just what I needed. A voice that is clear and pleasant to listen to.

Thanks

Beautiful addition to my prayer life

Changing a widget doesn’t always make an app better. A selection of widgets in this case is preferable.

Was once faithful to the Magisterium but no longer

In today’s commentary on the Gospel, I came across this little gem: “To fail to appreciate the other great religions of the world is an act not of homage to the Christian God but of failure to appreciate the divine omniscience and omnipotence.” There is only one true religion in the world and all others are in opposition to it. If we allow them even one foothold in the battle that Christ has called us to engage in, then we have lost the entire war and will be responsible for the loss of countless millions of souls. I for one have decided that Universalis no longer teaches orthodoxy and will therefore go elsewhere for my Divine Office.
