The Heroic Minute + Morning Offering

[@samuelmedlin9142]

Yesterday I was confirmed into the Holy Catholic Church. I want to serve God more. I'm in the process of concentrating myself to The Blessed Virgin Mary. Pray for me

[@mariaregina3290]

I watched this video awhile ago! And immediately after I prayed to know what time to wake up daily. I woke up the next morning at 4:30 AM wide awake with the lights on. And I always keep my lights off. I am able to pray the whole Dominican rosary 15 decades and spend some time reading scripture before I start my day for work! Lol! I love when God gives signs like that! So 4:30 has been my wake up time! Thank you so much for your encouragement! ☺😄

[@gabiafterhours]

BEUATIFUL!!!! I love this story!

[@reidamemer1]

Yoooo me too! I always wake up at 4:30am for my rosary and other prayers before school! I'll definitely try adding the Lectio Divina soon. After seeing this I Know I have to add it!

[@kelvinthomas9753]

My morning wake up testimony: I have been in a battle against waking up early in the morning since 4 years bcoz my whole routine was based on how early i waked up , bcoz most of my prayers that i have to do was at morning ,and also the holy mass. After college at evening i wont get time to go for mass or do my daily prayer cause of work,schedule and studies. since last month i have been winning this battle , the first one week of may i waked up early morning at 3 and slept at 10, then the following week i couldn't wake up and was since day before yesterday i am being able to wake early . i bombarded the heaven with prayers yesterday night just to wake up today early in the morning i prayed for half an hour the best part is my phone is broke and i do not have an alarm , and i only have a laptop so there is no way to keep alarm , so i asked the holy spirit to wake me up. and today at 3 am morning i waked up and i was able to watch online mass and pray for 3 hours. Plz keep me in your prayers coz i am struggling with lust,sloth,pride. pax Christ

[@tiijima3502]

Most of us are! That's why we pray the rosary!

[@joethebro3965]

Listen to the audio book, "True Devotion to Mary" on KZbin by St. Louis De Monfort, its free, obviously. It explains everything perfectly.

[@wms72]

Kelvin, you should sleep through the 3 a.m. hour. That's when our bodies are designed to heal the stomach. God bless!

[@BeatrizSantos-xp8ps]

@@wms72 3am is a very powerful time to combat spiritual war by praying, praying, praying... The healing and saving of souls is more important than the healing of our stomachs... God bless you!

[@askmemakeup]

To do a rosary first thing in the morning is a challenge in my morning fog... but this video has come at peculiar timing for me in what I’ve been contemplating and praying about. So I’m going to try it. Let’s see how I go! God bless you, Gabi and thank you for your commitment to your subscribers during these strange times.

[@gabiafterhours]

You got this! God bless you!

[@cole81185]

It’s actually really cool to do a rosary right after getting up like this because you do have morning fog. But by the middle of the rosary you start to become clearer and clearer. It’s really beautiful

[@Daniel_Abraham1099]

Hey protestant here!. I have been convinced of the Marian teachings in my mind. Now I am trying to be convinced in my heart. I pray the rosary and always make sure ask her to pray for me and I ask the lord to have mercy on me. This helps me make clear distinctions between what my intentions are to God from my intentions to saints. Once in a while my protestant side kicks in, and I get worried if Mary is being placed over christ. Could you explain why you say Mary instead of Jesus first thing in the morning? Thanks for the content!!!

[@Hope-fj4ep]

I would appreciate an answer to this question as well! I’m also a protestant (being confirmed this month though! :), but like you said-despite being largely convinced about Mary, sometimes I still question. It would be super helpful for him to respond 💛

[@Catholic1391]

Read the writing of the early Church father, about Mary. Virgin Mary went to heaven body and soul kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGPJiauqqdF5Y8k Lizz Bible study kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4GQkmOLobGkmMU Lizz on the early Church kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5LOkouHjpKgasU

[@catholicpeaces6257]

BecauseMary is Jesus’ Mother we prayer to her as she is our intercession to Jesus her Son. Mary can offer up our prayers to Jesus to answer.

[@evaescrihuela1162]

Dear Daniel, I wouldn't worry too much about it, some people develop a very special relationship with our Lady, it takes time. Some develop a strong bond with saints, but Jesus is always the way. To have her at your side is very powerful, just give it time. The rosary is very poweful against evil.

[@elsyvalle8842]

I recomend you to watch Marcus Grodi in his EWTN TV program THE JOURNEY HOME. (You can find this episodes in KZbin) This program is about protestants and evangelical people including many protestant leaders, pastors, who after studying theology came to the conclusion that the whole truth is in the catholic church. So in this TV program, they are talking about their experiences, struggles and happiness in becoming Catholics. One of the difficulties they find is precisely the understanding of the role of our Holy Mother Mary in the church. I highly recommend you and other protestant brothers and sisters to listen to this excellent testimonies. God bless you 🕯🙏🕯🌺🌺🌺

[@zestreena2222]

This is inspiring...thank you so much...Now I know why my late parents woke up at 4am to pray the rosary without ceasing. It became their habit, no wonder they had a happy marriage life til the end of their days...

[@davidm78]

Thank you so much for this! I'm Catholic and you always show me things I can do to further grow as a Catholic. ❤

[@Carol-k4i]

A mother's prayers are the strongest! ❤️

[@sandraelder1101]

Brilliant insight! That’ll be my first 2025 NY’s resolution.

[@solovief]

Gabriel, I love all your videos. Since I can not support you financially I commit to praying for you with all my masses and daily rosaries. God bless!

[@muyumeng7693]

I pray the rossary every 6:pm.☺

I needed this kick too. God works in Order. Thanks for getting me to do the Complete Rosary Daily 🙏 This is tools for the journey Home. Viva Cristo Rey 😎

[@margaretschachte489]

I wasn't expecting a "get ready with me" video but it's very nice

[@gabiafterhours]

Glad you liked it!! Your comment makes me laugh. You got lucky... I didn’t include my morning skin care routine 😂!

[@vanessabendik6519]

I start with morning. Angelus then rosary for reparation for sins.

[@vanessabendik6519]

U never know we might be al saints still working on it. Mama mary needs our fiat like she did before us to save her babies us her big babies

[@richardkasper5822]

Uncanny that this popped up on my phone today because I prayed the rosary as soon as I woke up this morning and that was a first for me. There's a young couple on youtube called a Catholic Minute they have many pray-along videos and they say prayers with true heartfelt devotion. My favorite is the all mysteries rosary. I never feel as close to Jesus as when I pray the sorrowful mysteries decades.

[@christpilled6369]

I’ve been struggling with this for so long... thank you so much Gabe

[@tiijima3502]

Thanks! I have a personal rule. Phone doesn't turn on in the morning until I have finished my first rosary.

[@gabiafterhours]

Perfect!

[@happylalala8585]

I need this. Thank you for reminding me.

[@marymitchell1700]

Thank you Gabbi, can't but help feel this.. God bless you.

[@rociocenteno3253]

Yes!! I have been praying my rosary first thing in the a.m before watching mass and also at night and it has been a huge blessing for me and my family. I started having anxiety and a panic attack last year around the time I felt the call in my heart to start praying the rosary this was Dec 12th La Virgen de Guadalupe Celebration. My anxiety originated from putting God and Mama Mary at last and nursing school, my kids, my husband, and everything in my life first place. When I started to pray the rosary my husband and I began to have problems in our marriage and I ended in the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack when instead it was a panic attack. I became closer to mama Mary through a book called 33 Days to Morning Glory (which I totally recommend) and now my family and I are consecrated to Jesus through mama Mary. She is the most loving mother and getting closer to her has helped me and my husband develope a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit! Those feelings of anxiety are gone and my faith and love for God are greater than ever. Pray the rosary!! Invoke Mama Mary and the Holy Spirit every day first thing in the morning, humble yourselves and ask to recieve the grace to persevere in prayer forever. Mama Mary loves you!!

[@lillykovalenko3083]

What perfect timing for me as I've been struggling to get up in the morning to pray. This was a great "wake-up" call and a swift kick in my behind to get up immediately and start the rosary. I read that one saint said to rise and dedicate your first hour to God. I feel this is God or Mary sending this message. Many thanks! Off to pray! PAX

[@gabiafterhours]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robstr12]

Sometimes this channel hits home runs! How inspiring! I’ve never been a morning person. Thank you for sharing Catholic ways with the world! God bless you!

[@tiptoetip4087]

Excellent advice 👍, practical and achievable. It's the little battles that the war is won by. Very grateful for your sharing. May God bless you and your family

[@channah64]

Thanks so much for this. The mornings have been a struggle, and I want so much to dedicate the day to God.

[@michaelmcevoy5282]

PLEASE GOD AND OUR LADY OF FATIMA CLAIM YOUR VICTORY SOON ❤🌹🕊

[@nicolettelindsey6902]

Thank you for your commitment to this channel and your podcast. Born catholic, but was never devout or yearned for a relationship with Jesus, but always felt guided by the Holy Spirit. During the Covid lockdown i started researching other Christian religions, as i went through a great period of confusion. Trump shared Vigano’s letter and the contents in that letter spoke to my soul...and led me back to the church....then I stumbled upon your channel!! I’ve started praying four rosaries a day, beginning with the first one of the day with my four children at our church prior to dropping each off at their schools. We leave the house at 6:30. Pray the rosary, drop child 1 off, child 2 off then child 3. Then with my youngest, I meet a couple of times a week with a local rosary group, which with your guidance, I created. Truly! Thank you!!! Please continue to post content. You ARE leading souls to Christ. You and your family are my thoughts and prayers. Truly Thank you.

[@gabiafterhours]

WOW!!! Your testimony gives me goose bumps! Thank you so much for coming out and sharing. I deeply appreciate your prayers. Keep it up. Its saints like you that are keeping the world from into utter destruction. God bless you my friend. Be assured of my prayers for you and your family. :)

[@janegallardo4731]

I am fortunate to have perpetual adoration at my parish, I say morning prayers, then early afternoon I go to adoration up to two hours a day, I say a rosary and other prayers and some reading. I am nervous to tell my 44 yo daughter about my consecration to Mary, I know there will be questions that I can't answer yet🙏My consecration day is Feb 11, 2014🙏

[@tohyhihi]

I needed this advice badly.. bc of lockdown ive been working from home for 3 months now and it affected my sleep routine. Ive never been this lazy before its time to take up my cross again. May God bless your family!

[@sophiahace9920]

Thanks for all your videos, Gabi! I watch them with my 9 and 11 year old homeschooling children. We also enjoy seeing your children in your videos. Your videos have been a great resource for us!

[@gabiafterhours]

That is awesome! Send them my best regards. I will pray for them. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@birdart69]

Watching from my bed, having got back in with a cup of tea 😅. Time to get the day restarted… ❤

[@iulia7611]

Great video! As someone who struggles with the temptation of thinking that prayer is wasting time instead of actually doing something productive, it reminds me that we need God's blessing from the moment we wake up.

[@gabiafterhours]

So true!

[@CL-im9lk]

Thank you. I needed this video. I’ll set my clock to 6 am. Getting up early is my biggest problem. Jesus, Mary and Joseph help me. My dear guardian Angel help me. Pls pray for me.

[@jessabelles2304]

This video is exactly what I needed, thank you

[@jessabelles2304]

Two days in now and wow what a different. This and the humility videos are just changing my life.

[@Mn14785]

I'm starting and winding back the time every single day by ten minutes so it's not too much. I say Morning prayers and then particular prayers for particular intentions. Adding gradually to my prayer life. ✝️💪🇻🇦

As someone who follows the Catholic faith, it’s always wonderful to come across resources like yours that help deepen my spiritual journey!! Viva Cristo Rey 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you Gabriel, yes every day is a new beautiful chance to know, love and serve our Loving God through Mary with Saint Joseph.🙏🏻🕊🔥 Liked and shared👍🏼

[@gabiafterhours]

Well said!

[@klaranovotna4225]

Peace and good! I am very thankful for this videos. They are a motivation for me. First thing what I do, when I wake up is: In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen I think it is good point think about Mary too. Thank you for everything! God bless you! (I am sorry for my horrible English grammar)

[@sugababedede]

I still struggling as a new mom and recovering C-section. I can only do it when my son sleep, so it will be 2 am, 4 am, or anytime his a sleep during the day or night. It's just gave me strength and extra energy caring my son. But I'm always have peace while I'm doing it or when I wake up (sometimes I fell asleep recite the rosary).

[@unnikutta6514]

I was just thinking about this very topic. Especially, since I just got a spiritual director from Opus Dei. Thanks Gabi!

I used to wake up with the help of my MAMA MARY but last one year i kind of fell down and stopped. Now i want to again but have been battling hard not winning.. sadly. Need prayer badly.

[@roslicornaggia1398]

[@jennifernguyen3326]

Thank you Gabe for this great video. I have been struggling with waking up on time at 5 AM in the morning. I think it is a great advice for praying the rosary upon waking up. May our Blessed Mother Mary will protect you & bless you always. 🙏

[@manikking7688]

Simply beautiful...Ave Ave Ave Maria Ave Ave Ave Maria 🙏❤️💒😊🙏

[@KanoonKaPitara]

Since it winters, I find it difficult to wake up at 6 Am. Usually I used to attend Mass at 5:30 AM, But now due to Covid19 I can't. But with Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I will again resume the morning routine and hope we can attend Mass at 5:30 Am.

[@joshuajosh1863]

Thank you gabi brother

[@danapb]

I will add this to my Lent routine and hopefully be able to continue it afterwards. It will definitely be a sacrifice as I am lazy in the morning. But I also want to consecrate myself to Mary on March 25th (The Annunciation) so hopefully this will help. Thank you!

[@jennjo822]

I have been struggling greatly with my holy hour in the morning. This was never an issue before, I would be excited to see what the lord had to reveal to me. For the last two months I have been so exhausted and hesitant to get up. My entire day has been off. My entire spiritual life has been, off. Temptations seeping in. The lord has explained to me that this time outside of the church, is an act of will, your time your efforts, and so is the foundation of your spiritual relationship with god. That it is crucial. And the appearance of this video at this time is not coincidence, nothing is. Lord I confess my sloth please forgive me

[@gabiafterhours]

Thank you for sharing this... I was actually praying about making a short on this topic. You must persevere. Ask Mary for the grace. Beg her for the grace to wake up and pray the Rosary. You will notice that this is your most fruitful time of the entire day. You may be half asleep but God will speak to you clearly.

[@standforfreedom5264]

Mary, I am your servant!!! Great video Gabe!! Keep educating us!

[@elenaortiz3182]

[@Rosary-Crusader]

Great video. I found if you want to pray for an extended period of time you need to have a fairly set time and the use of icons/images, scripture, rosary (your holy weapons and armoury) etc around you to create the atmosphere for prayer really helps. God bless.

Thank you for making this video. I started doing it on 1/4 and it’s crazy what a difference it’s made in my mindset for the day. Not only has it helped me be more God focused during the day but more efficient at work. Looking back I started this on the Solemnity of Mary feast day too! Taking that as a good sign. :) thank you 🙏

[@SevenDeMagnus]

So tough- sleep is so very, very nice but I love going to daily morning mass- it's a miracle I'm there daily, it's Almighty God. You got to try 3:55am and then 4:00am back up alarm. 5am is too late. You want that before dawn awesome darkness before dawn and sunset where you're most focused :-) 4am is better (be in bed around 8:30am). God bless, Rev. 21:4

[@kevinpaul9033]

Wow. I was literally wondering yesterday if I should give up waking early in the morning morning and saying a rosary. I've been struggling with this and it affects me throughout the day because I feel behind. I've been thinking I should just wakeup whenever. I'm taking this as a sign not to! Thanks Gabi. You guys are in my prayers!

[@gabiafterhours]

Even if you are going to sleep a long time you should make a plan and have a specific time... God bless you my friend!

[@clarapinto4546]

Thanks Gabi brother 🙏

[@TonyOmila7x]

Amen.

[@MDkid1]

I get up one hour before I'm required to start doing anything for my day just so that I can get in my first set of 4 rosaries for the day. Can't imagine my day any other way, if I neglect to do that, I open myself up for the endless entanglements and snares of the devil.

I sit instead. Is that ok? I my medication at 6:30am & by 9:am am tired 😑. My goal is to say the Rosary, do some 15 min exercise, have bfast Meditate and sleep 😴.
