Comfort Cross

A native Android (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose) daily‑liturgy app. It takes its name and motif from a small handheld olive‑wood comfort cross — meant to be held quietly in prayer.

Features

  • Today — the day's own reading from the Revised Common Lectionary Daily Readings (complementary track in the Season after Pentecost; the single daily track otherwise), with the liturgical season and cycle year.
  • Liturgies — pick one to pray on its own page:
    • Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer — the historic Daily Office (opening, confession, invitatory, psalm, reading, creed, the Lord's Prayer, suffrages, a collect, a benediction), with the psalm and reading drawn from today's daily lectionary.
    • A Liturgy for Morning Prayer — after the Rev. Brian Zahnd, offered freely for use.
  • Readings — today's appointed readings, linking out to the NRSVue on Bible Gateway.
  • Prayers — historical prayers of the saints (Augustine, Patrick, Benedict, Francis, Aquinas, Ignatius, Wesley, and others).

Sources & licensing of content

  • Scripture citations come from the Revised Common Lectionary (Sunday readings via the Vanderbilt Divinity Library; daily readings via dailyLectio.net). Only the citation references are bundled — the scripture text itself opens on Bible Gateway.
  • All fixed liturgical texts (creeds, the Lord's Prayer, BCP confession / suffrages / collects, the canticle Phos Hilaron, KJV sentences) and the historical prayers are in their traditional public‑domain wording.

Build
