Ok, ok, so this is a healthy, nutrition website! Well, let me refer you back to my post on Spirituality and Health. Sooooo, along with my previous post about Power of Now: Life Can Be a Ray of Sunshine, here is a post about a lovely prayer app:
HALLOW is a prayer app with an annual fee (I paid $79). Many friends have recommended it, but due to my frugality/cheapness, I always resisted. I thought I could get all the information in other places for free. I've had it for several months now and every minute has been wonderful. It makes praying and learning about my faith so simple and accessible. It's the BEST 19 cents per day I have ever spent! Thank you, Tasha!
PLUS, this post has bumped up to publication NOW because the app is offering a 30-day-free trial! So you have nothing to lose! Just start with www.hallow.com and it'll ask you some questions to get you set up.
Back to it! I believe there actually are resources that aren't easily available elsewhere. I feel as if I have only just scratched the surface. One specific treasure I've enjoyed was learning from/about Saint Therese of Lisieux. In the app, you can listen to her beautifully, precious autobiography, entitled Story of a Soul. While listening, you can choose to read along with the words on your phone.
Saint Therese: This young person was dedicated to serving God with unreserved love and confidence in His mercy. Her spiritual path called the "Little Way" emphasizes performing small acts with great love! She helps readers find joy and holiness in the ordinary, share true charity to others, focus on the present moment, find joy in service, embrace our unique spiritual gifts, and trust in God even through hardships.
I'll only mention the title of two other amazing audiobooks I have listened to on HALLOW:
Interior Freedom by Jacques Philippe (this is actually SO good...some parts I have listened to practically on repeat!!)
Something Other than God: How I Passionately Sought Happiness and Accidently Found It by Jennifer Fulwiler (this is a life story that truly starts with NO faith, even strong resistance to faith, and transforms to a beautiful journey to God)
Know that HALLLOW app is so much more than audiobooks. It is a community. It provides habit. It provides inspiration and education. It is SO much more than I imagined it to be.

BONUS:
Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) is a weekend retreat with the primary goal of facilitating an encounter with Christ for those who are searching for deeper meaning, purpose, and hope in life, and who desire an authentic relationship with God within a community of believers.
You can apply to "Make a Retreat" here:
A Catholic Experience in Christian Living
I've gone on this retreat and worked it many times (NEVER as a teenager; the first time I was almost 40 and now I am closer to 50!), and each time I participate there are life-changing blessings abounding, new friends made, and refreshing feelings of love and peace, like no other!
Funny, this is also $80. Another amazing value for three amazing days of focusing on your faith!
