Jhesus Christ vnser Heyland
The Victorious Savior
Christ's resurrection and his sacrificial work of reconciliation are celebrated as the foundation of mercy.
Jesus Christ, our Savior, who overcame death, has risen; he has taken sin captive. Lord, have mercy. Born without sin, he bore God’s wrath for us. He reconciled us, so that God now grants us his favor. Lord, have mercy.1
The Sovereign Lord of Grace
Christ holds all power over life and death, offering salvation to all who approach him.
Death, sin, life, and grace as well—all are in his hands. He can save everyone who comes to him. Lord, have mercy.✦2

Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
