This is the weekly pattern recommended by Pope St. John Paul II in Rosarium Virginis Mariae (2002). The app opens on today’s set automatically, and you can switch at any time.

“This weekly distribution has the effect of giving the different days of the week a certain spiritual “colour”, by analogy with the way in which the Liturgy colours the different seasons of the liturgical year.”

Pope St. John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae 38 (2002), vatican.va
