A minute to let go and turn back to God, from John Eldredge.
Catholic Score
4.3/5The short version
A lovely, simple habit of turning to God during the day. Not Catholic, but nothing in it works against the faith.

Pause, first released as the One Minute Pause, is a simple practice for reconnecting with God in the middle of a busy day. It comes from John Eldredge and his team at Ransomed Heart, the author of Wild at Heart and Get Your Life Back.
The idea is beautifully small. You stop for a minute, or five, or longer, and the app guides you with Eldredge’s calm voice and gentle music: release everything to God, return to union with Him, and ask Him to fill you. There are longer guided prayers, soundscapes for quiet, and reminders to pause during the day. It is well made, and with a 4.9 rating from nearly six thousand people, it is clearly helping a great many.
A note for Catholic readers: this is not a Catholic app. Eldredge is an evangelical Protestant writer, and the app has no sacraments, saints, Mary or the Church’s liturgy. Nothing in it works against the faith, and the simple habit of turning to God during the day is one every Catholic can use. Many Catholics pair a practice like this with the Examen or the Angelus. If you want a Catholic app built around the same idea, look at Hallow or Reimagining the Examen.

Can you tell me the background music you use d in the pause app.
My wife and I have used this app for a long time but all of a sudden the New American Bible link does not work . We get 404 Error can’t find this page. This has been going on for days now .
Did you delete it or what. We can get the Douay Remes but it is much harder for our 75 yr old eyes to see and does not have the footnotes.
Please advise. Thanks
How could you translate the prayer after communion, “may your body which I have eaten and your blood which I have drunk leave to my very “bowels” when the Roman missal states the word soul.
Big difference between soul and bowels one very reverent the bowels into the same.
How could change a beautiful for one not nearly as true?
