Orthodox prayers, read aloud

Free on iPhone. Every text, for good.
The prayer book, prayer by prayer
The prayers come from the Jordanville Prayer Book. Each rule is split into its individual prayers, so you can find your place, pin the ones you return to, and search for any line.
Morning prayers
To begin the day.
Evening prayers
Before sleep.
Prayers at mealtime
For the table, at home or away.
Before and after Holy Communion
The preparation and the thanksgiving, suggested on Saturday evening.
Short Orthodox prayers at the heart of every rule
Some Orthodox prayers are said many times a day, at the start of the morning and evening prayers and through the day. If you are new to Orthodox prayer, begin with these.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
The Trisagion
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
