"Induite vos armaturam Dei, ut possitis stare adversus insidias diaboli."
EPHESIANS 6:11
The final edition of the Roman Rite received intact, without provisional reform. It preserves the full temporal cycle, the canonical Hours including Prime, and the structure by which the Church ordered prayer for centuries. This application follows that order without adaptation or synthesis.
Armatura Dei does not replace the Missal or Breviary. It orders access to them. Texts are presented according to their proper place: Ordinarivm, Officivm, Pro Tempore, Pro Defvnctis, and the Psalter.
What belongs to the daily rule of prayer remains freely accessible. Extended corpora are sustained by patrons who choose to build, not merely consume.
This work is built for a single platform in order to preserve consistency of form and use. No parallel versions are planned.
