Lumen exists for a simple reason: no one should have to pay to pray. Prayers, the Rosary, and guided challenges are here for everyone — with no subscription, no paywall, and no locked content.
The app is supported entirely by free-will donations. If it helps you, and you are able, a gift helps keep it running and growing for those who can't give. If you can't, simply pray for the work — that is a gift too.
Lumen has no accounts, no sign-in, and no database. Nothing you do here is sent to a server, because there is no server to send it to. Your favorites and your progress are saved only on your own device. We could not read your prayers if we wanted to, and we never will.
It also means Lumen keeps working offline, even with no connection at all.
Your saved prayers and challenge progress live only on this device. Create a backup code here, then paste it into Lumen on another device to carry them over. Restoring adds to what's already there, it never erases it.
Every prayer here is a traditional text in the public domain. As Lumen grows, new content will be added carefully and with respect for the Church's tradition.
Lumen is an independent, donation-supported project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official publication of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Holy See, or any diocese. Links to other websites are offered as a convenience; each is run by its own organization, and Lumen is not responsible for their content.
A donation option is coming soon. Until then, thank you for being here.
