Amen: Daily Catholic Prayers 4+

Thank you so much for providing the Amen app. It is beautiful in so many ways. I started using It on Ash Wednesday as a way to keep myself more disciplined in prayer. Because I am a caregiver of my elderly mother, I still avoid large groups since the pandemic started, which has affected my prayer and spiritual life. I used to be in a rosary group and a Bible study group. I have felt more isolated praying these last 3 years. Overall I have felt more anxious and lonely trying not to get sick and potentially getting my 93 year old mother sick. God has felt more distant to me. I believe strongly in Christ’s words he gave us on the road to Emmaus, where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am. Using the Amen app allows me to have that again, rather than praying in isolation. With God sense of time is not linear, so when I listen to an Amen meditation, I am praying along with the person who recorded It. I am particularly pleased how calming the voice is on the meditations. I feel a sense of peace and joy listening to the various meditations. If I am tired when listening, I have even become so relaxed I have fallen asleep. What a beautiful way to fall asleep, listening to God’s words! I gave up social media for Lent and added the Amen app. I already feel less anxious after 5 days. The Holy Spirit is with the creators of this application. May God bless and keep them all. I am grateful.

Thank you immensely for taking the time to write the Amen app a thoughtful 5-star review! We are pleased to hear you've found God again through our prayers and meditations. May the Lord bless your time with him!

Initially, I was a bit skeptical with the app. I was afraid it would be glitchy, cheesy, poorly-designed, not user-friendly, not have good content, etc etc. But after using it for a couple days, I’m actually very surprised at how well-made and designed this app is. The background music/sounds are great. The meditations are deep and contemplative. The daily readings and reflections help further my understanding of Scripture and my faith. Someone mentioned how they didn’t like how they background music/sounds didn’t pause when they hit pause but for me personally I love that the background keeps playing. Sometimes I just like to have the calming background music/sounds to continue playing for moments where I need to reflect a little longer than prompted or to just simply have on to pray on my own. One thing however, I did put on a meditation before going to bed with the background sound and fell asleep shortly after the meditation was over but the background sound was still playing all night until I woke up! Not sure how much battery that took up! But overall, really impressed with the app and I’m looking forward to going through all the other content and continue praying with this app! Definitely will donate and contribute to this awesome app! Thank you!

WOW, what a beautiful, thoughtful review! Thank you!! I am sharing your beautiful words with the Amen team and we are incredibly grateful you are enjoying God's word with us! God bless you and please feel free to reach out and to us at help@amenapp.org with any issues, concerns, or feedback! 🙏🏼

Glory be to God. I am so grateful for the Amen app. I spend so much time on my phone it’s maddening and it’s because I usually open one of the several social media apps and scroll endlessly…it’s harmful to my mental/emotional/SPIRITUAL health when I do that. It drains me of the joy and peace in my heart and it’s been a very hard habit to break. That said, I like the every day notifications that I get from the Amen App. I recommend to all my brothers and sisters that they turn on the notifications for this app! The notifications remind me to remain in Christ and be steadfast in my love and worship of Him at all times of the day! I need those reminders. I like the notifications too because they are simple excerpts about the Bible readings of the day and they really draw me in to watching the meditations. After many years of turning my back on Christ, I am here now expressing infinite gratitude to Him because he saved my life. He helped me through a very bleak period of my life. I have been a Catholic all my life and not known what that actually means. Now I am learning, and it’s awesome. The Amen App is easy to navigate and very helpful in understanding the Bible and it’s spiritual meaning. Thank you!

Wow. Thank YOU for this phenomenal review! God bless you!
