I am Protestant and I have learned so much from this channel about not only Catholicism but Christianity in general and about getting closer to the Lord

[@simonslater9024]

Protestant’s are NOT Christian! Protestant so called churches DON’T EXIST. Protestant so called baptism is invalid.

[@yvonneoukrust1131]

My brother died last week and my daughter died this week, praying has given me so much comfort, I will get through this with prayer

[@carakerr4081]

I’m so sorry for your losses praying for you ❤

[@amadeus4313]

I too am so sorry for your loss. So many people are dealing with horrendous things. We are blessed to have a relationship with God and someone we can lean on. Tonight’s rosary will be for you and your family

[@becdee]

Prayers lifted up for you 🙏 ❤🙏

[@Gaz4113]

They are with the Lord and my prayers will be with you.

[@user-rb4qy2dn1d]

Prayers for you🙏🏽

I was a marathon runner/ elite athlete when I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke ( brain bleed) leaving me with left sided paralysis. It was The Catholic Talk Show and Hallow that kept me sane those long days in Neuro ICU and inpatient rehab. I never miss a day without Hallow❤️

[@oliviah8865]

I love Hallow, it structures my day with prayer when I normally wouldn’t.

[@mikesewchok5978]

Where is Fr. Pagano? Miss you...praying for you.

[@angelanetto7490]

I love the catholic talk show so helpful . missing Fr. Rich hope he will be back soon God bless him and all of you

[@jjjone683]

I converted to Catholicism 2 years ago. before I started RCIA in 2021 after my father passed away I found Hallow. I learned to pray the rosary with Jonathan Roumie. Thank you so much for creating it. God Bless you! I pray every morning with Hallow❤️ I also recently stared using the written St. Bridget prayer. I start the audio and then pause it and pray the prayers on my own. It would be good to be able to go to the written prayers without audio.

[@dortzwinsor5646]

We’re is Father Rich?? Week two. Hope all is well

[@lauramccallum6055]

He ran off with Princess Kate

[@sebastiansandkuhler4646]

I found the Catholic Talk Show and my wife found Hallow. The Chosen has given us visual and historical context for the Bible. The app has allowed us to pray together to deepen our faith and this channel has taught me so much ABOUT my faith. All of which are perfect in educating and increasing our commitment to our faith. You guys are great and you show me how I need to be as a Catholic and a man. Thank you and don’t stop putting this show out.

[@kathysauceda2923]

Love this show today. I have the inexpensive version of Hallow and I love it. Please can you comment on why Fr. Pagano hasn't been on the show lately?

[@peggyjones4563]

I absolutely LOVE the Catholic talk show and I have Hallow on my phone Most of my day. The lenten 40 day prayers, the beautiful music chanting and all the prayers. I am a cradle catholic and I even benefited by listening to Hallow. It's the BEST Also praying for Fr. Pagano. And his mother as well as Ryan's. Wife, Jen.

[@breebeal3344]

This April will be my 4th year on the Hallow App. Hallow has been a tremendous blessing to me and my family 🥰

[@idalinasilveira5565]

Yes thank you 🙏 my husband and I are enjoy we were saying before and I’m sure enjoying Catholic talk show God bless you all 🙏❤️

[@ginacirelli1581]

I am very much enjoying the Pray40 Challenge, especially Sister Mary Bernice's segments.

[@JBCricket617]

Agreed!

[@lisandragutierrez8587]

I use Hallow everyday and night. Love it. It’s a great investment. Jonathan Roumie’s voice helps me sleep at night through the Sleep Stories. 🙏🏼

[@kookie-gb3kv]

Hallow has been helping me learn so much about my faith ❤

[@antonioflores7917]

👍👍. 🙏🙏🙏 Fr Rich, miss you. 😁. Yay new vid

[@gwoupo]

2 years ago I turned my life BACK to God and I haven’t looked back since he has gave hope for new life and that I’m always going to be loved by God And Jesus

[@islandaloha187]

Love Hallow Lofi. 🙏🏼

[@suzannelove5147]

This show will make me look at the Hallow App again. I guess it just wasn’t my time before (or the last time). Amen.

[@user-gt2kh8sd3d]

I am so happy to see the commercials on TV for Hallow Endorsements for prayer coming from familiar faces promote such a positive wonderful image on the importance of prayer. I am happy to see all the various forms of prayer promoted in the materials. Reflecting on how prayer is structured in my life as I am now in my later years I find many sources that have contributed to my current outlook. Hallow is another one I am beginning to utilize. Prayer is something I turn to every day. God is in control . Prayer is my tool to turn to him in my times of need or asking for the needs of others. Serves also as a venue to thank God for all the blessings given everyday.

[@TonyCamacho3]

Having the liturgy of the hours on hallow would be epic. Maybe just morning evening and night to start out. I enjoy the app.

[@DesertRat2001]

Night prayer is definitely on there! There's also morning psalms with BIshop Barron, but it's not the full morning prayer structure from the LotH.

[@TonyCamacho3]

@@DesertRat2001 I’ll check out the night prayer

[@pibly7784]

I’d use this app - but can’t afford to. Somewhat expensive.

[@Pistocco_]

Love this app.has me start my day with praying the Rosary.Thank You

[@theresaorren7259]

I love my Hallow app. Thank you Alex.

[@ladyj3474]

Mr Jones, you are fabulous. Thank you.

[@javileezk]

"Bro, it was too fast, you almost knocked me over. I had to turn on the subtitles just to keep up. Fr. Pagano joined Kate's team."🤣🤣🤣

[@rogermantha2807]

Where is fr pagano

[@lucylaudenbach925]

Can we get an idea of when Fr. Pagano will return? He s truly missed.He has the best homilies . I have been gong bac to other years to listen to his homilies.

[@reginapontes5672]

Hello Hallow!

[@thomasgraf2908]

I have a workmate who was badly suffering from cancer, barely able and forbidden by his doctor's to work. While my community has been praying for him together over a course of a few months, he is now coming back to work. Thank God! Our Lord really listens to us, he knows our deepest desires and wishes to help us.

[@hassiearaya8024]

I love the app and sister Bernice I just adore her thanks

[@reginapontes5672]

Thanks!

[@timc5843]

Ryan and Ryan, I enjoyed the show. Your show, Hallow, and other apps have helped me get closer to God. Keep up the good work, thank you. I pray for you guys every day.

[@jeffth205]

The session I think has been the most beneficial to me is The Daily ExoJesus, I look forward to this and have learned a great deal about the Gospels.

[@ar0118]

Yes it does, god answered me a few times already, and I don't care what the Internet has to say about it, all I know is that God is REAL and he's watching all of us..

[@EfrainSerrano-od8cx]

Amen

[@majorfrank1167]

YES!

[@wfgstuff8534]

Can you guys do a show on the tomb of the BVM?

[@lisandragutierrez8587]

Yes, Lo fi is my go to for sleeping through the night. Don’t like silence.

[@LouisAlbie]

Is Catholic Talk Show gonna be in the National Eucharistic Congress?

[@lissalois1822]

Where’s Father Rich?

[@trialjam-pw1rf]

Am praying to get married to a good catholic man this year or next year loneliness is killing me am 27 already😭

[@becdee]

Prayers lifted up for you but have patience you are still young God is always with you and knows your heart, loneliness can also come to you in marriage. Sometimes it is our call to be single you may help others in single life to be a powerful ministry of being able in helping others they need to know God. A religious life put all your trust in God, our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph and your Guardian Angel and all the Saints. I am married but I was not planning to be and I was 27 when I got married but I believe it may happen but discern your self also with what God's will is for you, just in God maybe get a spiritual advisor. Marriage is a commitment for life which you may know but the person that is meant for you maybe not yet there. Find a spiritual advisor also I say this also because a single life you have marriage is completely opposite you have to give 100% you would want your partner to do the same..it may happen but focus your trust in God first and God will answer or have another plan for you..whatever happens I am praying for you🙏❤🙏

[@trialjam-pw1rf]

@@becdee thanks so much let me wait on God's will,his timing is the best

[@LoriS1956]

Which Walter Ciszek book are you referencing?

[@darmat6288]

He Leadeth Me

[@veronicac1199]

I haven’t been able to look past the fact that they used Liam Neeson. It is such a good app, my kids and husband are still using it…but that part right there…was a big no for me. Really disappointing. Now, if I missed the part where Liam apologized and is now defending the unborn instead of fighting for the right to kill the unborn, please, tell me! I am hesitant to renew our yearly subscription.

[@pamhillman4878]

What is this Low Fi that he was talking about?

[@LindaPietrucha]

Where is the Priest?

[@bcalvert321]

It does if you pray to Jesus or the Father in Jesus' name.

[@simonslater9024]

All prayers is answered. Prayer’s to Mary to the saint’s to the holy soul’s are all answered. If your a protestant please leave your man made protestant CULT and come home.

[@CKANE1952]

Slow down! Man you’re going to break the sound barrier!

[@christinamiller1323]

I say the Rosary using Hallow and most times fall asleep without finishing

[@FrankRios2b]

I'm right there with ya. I can't tell you how many times I crashed out in the middle of the third mystery. If I'm, big IF here, cognitively aware when I wake up I'll continue where I left off because I'm usually still holding the Rosary in my hand when I wake up.

[@TheCharlie1701]

I almost always fall asleep with the Rosary. Pro tip, kneel. The knee aches keep me awake.

[@amadeus4313]

A dear friend of mine told me that if you fall asleep during the rosary the angels finish it for you. But I think angels are tired of finishing my rosaries lol

[@lissalois1822]

Missing Father Rich! What’s the deal?

[@bridgetpollock6760]

Let Alex know that I use to love Hallow until Pro abortion Liam Neeson was featured on the App during last Advent. Alex apparently doubled down and refused to listen to many of his customers who went on to, like myself, cancel their subscriptions. Shame on you Alex Jones.

[@amadeus4313]

Has he address this issue at all?

[@antonioflores7917]

I jus thought about that if ai becomes aware and finds out about jesus 😂. Thats the one thing ig hasnt been considered. Why wouldnt it be able to see the true facts of life better than we do.

[@vivianpowell1732]

Alex talks too fast. So annoying.

[@Knightraven000]

Where's Fr. Pagano?
