Please expand the usability of the Prayer list beyond its current petitionary prayer with yes/no answers. To make resources such as

  • Elmer, Robert, ed. Fount of Heaven: Prayers of the Early Church. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2022.
  • St. Gregory of Narek. From the Depths of the Heart: Annotated Translation of the Prayers of St. Gregory of Narek. Translated by Abraham Terian. Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press Academic, 2021.

usable as prayer lists, please implement dynamic text as exists in the personal books for lectionaries. The advantage of a prayer list rather than a reading plan is that one can repeat prayers at different intervals and have infinite reuse of the prayer list in contrast to reading plans that are single use only. In order to make resources such as

  • Nelson Gingerich, Barbara, Arthur Boers, Eleanor Kreider, John Rempel, and Mary H. Schertz. Take Our Moments # 1: An Anabaptist Prayer Book. Harrisonburg, VA: Herald Press, 2007.
  • International Commission on English in the Liturgy. The Liturgy of the Hours with Supplement. Vol. I–IV. New York: Catholic Book Publishing Corp., 1975–1992.

usable, either links or dynamic text would work.
