Vigil – Biblical Daily Prayer

Enter into the rhythm of sacred time with Vigil, a Christian prayer app inspired by the monastic traditions of the Carthusian and Benedictine Orders. Vigil is designed to form a disciplined, Scripture-centered prayer life rooted in the practice of the early Church and the monastic tradition.

At the heart of Vigil is the ancient monastic rhythm of prayer: the Psalms prayed in one week and the whole of Sacred Scripture read in one year.

“Because monks show great sloth in their devotional service if they recite less in the course of a week than the Psalter with the accustomed canticles, seeing that we read our holy fathers strenuously accomplished in one day this which, oh, that we tepid ones may fulfill in a whole week!” — St. Benedict of Nursia, Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 18
