The routine feature of the app lets you schedule prayers, and get notified when it is time to pray.
What can I add to my routine?
There are two types of content that you can add to routines. An individual prayer session or a collection of prayers and reflections.
Here is how both types of content behave when added to your routines:
Session: Adding a session will repeat the exact same prayer or reflection every day. (i.e. "I want to pray 1 minute Morning Offering prayer every day")
Collection: Adding a collection will update your routine each day with the next session in the collection. (i.e. a community challenge, the daily gospel, a novena, Bible in a Year, etc...)
* For dailies (i.e. Jeff Cavin's Daily Reflection) or the current community prayer challenge (i.e. this year's Pray40 challenge that is released day by day), the next prayer in your scheduled routine will show whichever prayer is marked for today.
* For other collections, like audiobooks, novenas, or previous community challenges, the next prayer in your scheduled routine will depend on where you last left off.
How do I add prayers to my routine?
There are two ways to add content to a routine: from the routine icon from the Home tab or directly from the content itself. See the directions for each method below!
Pay attention to whether you are adding a session or a collection, depending on whether you want, as part of your routine, to pray the same exact prayer each day or if you want the content to update daily from a dynamic collection.

Adding it as a Collection
To add a collection:
Tap the three-dot icon on the right (you can tap either of the buttons shown by the red arrows in the screenshot below)
Select 'Add to Routine'. This will allow the app to remember your last listened session and automatically include it in your routines the following day.
Adding it as a Session
When you add a session:
Tap into the session
Tap the three-dot icon on the right
Select 'Add to Routine.' It will play the same prayer or reflection every day.
