Hello Fr
Greetings from near Johannesburg. Universalis is a
A work of genius!
Brilliant!
Sometimes hymns from breviary not there.
Also semi colons missing at intercessions.
Introductions to week are discerning if slightly Eurocentric for my South African- Irish ears.
These are the observations of an 80year old still learning the smart phone and only learning to navigate Universalis.
U. is great not only for travelling, dim lighting, reader friendliness but also for normal private or public office in a community.
Congratulations.

Universalis
A easy to use prayer resource. I use it daily.
This remains a daily blessing. I start with the Lexio and then go onto my own Bible reading and prayer.
