Is there a good app for the Liturgical Calendar? I’m a Protestant, but am becoming more and more interested in the liturgical calendar and am interested in participating in the practices. I think Protestants have done themselves a disservice by not really caring about the liturgical calendar. I think following it would be a good way for us to always remember the Christian community and family we are part of.
The one I use is an app called Ibreivary. It prays the Divine Office (lauds, Vespers, etc.). The office follows the liturgical calendar, so it always has the day and season before you begin.
It’s not an app, but I use the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ website for the modern liturgical calendar: https://bible.usccb.org/. You can view the feasts and seasons by each month, which I find to be very helpful when I want to find out when a certain liturgical season begins and ends. May God bless you!
St Luke is my patron saint and I always perk up when I hear about St Luke or when his Gospel is one of the readings. I don't pray to him often enough--but enjoyed this reflection greatly. Friend of Our Lady, healer of souls, evangelist to the gentiles--I even read somewhere (Possibly from Manly Saints Project?) that he may have been one of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Thank you very much for this reflection!

St Luke, Pray for us!
Happy feast! If he is one of your namesakes, happy onomastico!
Really good, Chantal, thanks!
Thank you! God bless!
