Each year Catholics and Christians observe the 40 days before Easter as lent, a time of sacrifice and preparation. Many observe the giving up of something valuable to them. We have a great excuse for you not to give up your iPhone or iPad by collecting these apps that will help, encourage, motivate, and of course inspire you to deeper prayer.

This year I have a few recommendations. The first isn’t an app at all but a site. I have used this in the past and really enjoyed it, I hope that you do to:

Hallow: Catholic Meditation 4+

Pray. Meditate. Sleep. Lent.

$8.99 per month

$59.99 per year

• Hallow is a prayer app that offers guided meditation sessions to help us grow in our faith lives and find peace & stillness in God. Explore contemplative prayer & meditation sessions across techniques like:
• Christian Meditation: finding peace in silence & imaginative prayer leveraging Catholic mindfulness practices
• Examen: reflecting on your day and discovering an awareness of God, Jesus, & the Holy Spirit in the present moment

• Spiritual Writing: journaling with God, listening to Him, & sharing with Him what’s on your mind & heart
• Taizé & Chant Meditation: meditative chant & singing with God
• Rosary: meditating with Mary through the mysteries of the Rosary

Today’s world is stressful, busy, hectic, & full of distractions. Society puts an insane amount of pressure on us and there seems to be a constantly increasing expectation to work harder, study more, respond faster, & perform better. At the same time, we’re increasingly searching for meaning, fulfillment, purpose, and growth within our spiritual lives. We believe these two challenges can be addressed with the same solution. Namely, through deepening our relationship with God and growing in Christian mindfulness. By allowing Him into our day-to-day lives and stresses, we let Him share with us His peace, joy and fulfillment. In the end, a halo & heaven is the goal :)

WHAT YOU GET

Hallow’s intuitive, convenient & personalized experience begins with a 9-day intro that guides you step-by-step through 3 different methods of prayer. After this, it’s up to you to choose from our collection of over 500 sessions across 5 different sections:

• Dailies: Daily prayers across methods including Lectio Divina (on the Daily Gospel), the Rosary, Spiritual Writing, & the Examen.
• Praylists: Sessions across a variety of prayer methods, all centered on one particular theme, e.g., joy, humility, making decisions, calm, letting go.
• Challenges: Prayers usually focused on re-discovering the beauty within traditional prayers, e.g., the Our Father, Stations of the Cross, and Psalms.
• Community: Prayers with a set schedule to pray along with the rest of the Hallow community, such as the #pray40 Lenten Challenge, which begins on Ash Wednesday and continues throughout all of Lent.
• Sleep: Prayers designed specifically to help you prepare to sleep, including Night Prayer from Liturgy of the Hours / Divine Office, and nightly Examens.
• Additionally, Hallow offers a number of features to help users customize their prayer experience:
• Journal for users to capture their thoughts after every prayer
• Choice of male or female guide
• Options for 3 different lengths for every prayer (typically 5, 10, or 15 minutes)
• Ability to set prayer reminders
• Option to include calming background music in any session
