The Way<\/em> as an accompanying work for this Lent?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n-We chose The Way<\/em> first because it changed my life and many others, but also because of its powerful and direct spiritual advice. St. Josemar\u00eda teaches us to love the world deeply through prayer and by making sacrifices. And ultimately, he helps us see that holiness can be found in our ordinary, daily lives. It\u2019s a book that really just gets at the core of Hallow\u2019s mission, which is to help people pray every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat are the points of this The Way<\/em> of St. Josemar\u00eda are the ones marking this Lent with Hallow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\u2013The Lent challenge touches on several themes of The Way that are essential to living a Christian life and trying to be a saint: prayer, sacrifice, love, and trust in God. Here\u2019s one of my favorites, from the very beginning of the challenge: The Way<\/em> that are essential to living the Christian life and aspiring to holiness: prayer, sacrifice, love and trust in God. One of my favorites is right at the beginning of the challenge: \"\u201cDon't let your life be a sterile life . . . And light up all the roads of the earth with the fire of Christ that you carry in your heart.<\/em> (The Way<\/em>1) What a powerful reminder of how we are supposed to live!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat role do voices like Tamara Falc\u00f3 or Jos\u00e9 Pedro Manglano play in this accompaniment, why them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n I won\u2019t give away too many details of the challenge quite yet, but we have some really exciting surprises in store for you this Lent2025<\/em>will say that we\u2019ve asked all of our partners to join Lent Pray40 because we find the way they live out their faith to be pretty inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt takes a lot of courage to share the faith, and for that, we are deeply grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lent is, for the entire Church, a true journey of conversion. Hallow<\/em> What is most helpful to users during this liturgical season?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis Lent we hope to help folks root out what\u2019s stopping them and start fully following Christ who is \"the way, the truth and the life.\"<\/em> (John 14:6). It is about conquering each morning and giving it to God. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s this quote from St. Josemar\u00eda Escriv\u00e1 that I\u2019ve found powerful and think encompasses what our goal this Lent is: \u201cLent is a time of penance, purification, and conversion. It is not an easy program, but then Christianity is not an easy way of life. It is not enough just to be in the Church, letting the years roll by. In our life, in the life of Christians, our first conversion\u2026 is certainly very significant. But the later conversions are even more important, and they are increasingly demanding.\u201d<\/em> (Christ passing by<\/em>, 57) <\/p>\n\n\n\nLent2025<\/em> truly is for everyone, whether you\u2019re a daily mass-goer, you\u2019re just coming back to the faith after years away, or you\u2019re just giving this a try. We\u2019re excited to pray with you whenever you are on your faith journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do users use Hallow<\/em>What distinguishes it from other similar applications?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n-People use Hallow in all kinds of ways. Some folks like to start their mornings with the Daily Gospel reflection on the app. Others find rest before bed with a Sleep Bible Story or praying the Rosary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prayer really can look different for everyone, but that\u2019s what makes getting to work on the app really powerful for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are always looking for new ways to help people pray, especially those who are returning to the faith or discovering it for the first time. While many apps focus on looking inward and focusing on oneself, at Hallow<\/em> we try to help focus on God and how He acts in our lives and those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s all about building a friendship with God and really just getting to know Him. I love the quote from St. Teresa of \u00c1vila that says,\u201cContemplative prayer, in my opinion, is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us.\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>At the end of the day, that is what we seek: to help each person find his or her own way to pray and come closer to God.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex Jones es el CEO y confundador de Hallow, una aplicaci\u00f3n m\u00f3vil dise\u00f1ada para ayudar en la oraci\u00f3n personal y mental en medio de un mundo digitalizado.
