### 5/5 — Faithful

*2018-06-03*

This is an app I turn to not only in anticipation of the feast of Pentecost, but throughout the year. Thoughtful meditations and traditional prayers. A feature i appreciate is the reminder settings. I can set a reminder and the app notifies me daily to pray. There is also the add information of the Doctors of the Church and their insights on devotion to the Holy Spirit and how He works in our lives.I have grown in my love for the Holy Spirit, thanks in part to the deep prayers and meditations in this app. Thank you and keep up the beautiful work.
