It seems that since 2020, more people have been looking for helpful apps to assist with time management, mindfulness, and even with things like sleep and daily devotions. It’s any wonder with the constant cycle of bad news through TV, the news paper and social media, that people would seek ways to take back control of their lives. One such platform is the prayer app Hallow. First launched in 2018, Hallow has become one of the most popular prayer apps available, with such features as daily devotions, reflective verses, hymns and worship music, audio Bible excerpts, and even relaxation techniques for sleep.
Each year around Christmas Hallow has a special series for the days leading up to the day known as Advent. This year, their series will be entitled, “Advent with CS Lewis.” This daily journey will be extra special as it will feature Jonathan Roumie from the TV hit series The Chosen, and Liam Neeson, best known to NarniaFans as the voice of Aslan from Walden Media’s The Chronicles of Narnia film trilogy.
According to the official press release on the Hallow app,
“Surrender it all this Advent season and prepare your heart for Jesus like never before with readings from the works of C.S. Lewis, voiced by award-winning actor and the voice of Aslan in the Narnia movies, Liam Neeson.
In 2023, prepare your heart for Christmas and rediscover the wonder of Christ’s coming into this world and into our hearts by joining Advent Pray25.
Liam Neeson, Jonathan Roumie, and an incredible nun will guide you in daily prayer for four weeks of Advent with reflections based on different works of Lewis, including The Four Loves, Mere Christianity, The Great Divorce, and more.”
As per MovieGuide.org,
“I’ve partnered together with Hallow for this project to help guide folks through some beautiful meditations,” Neeson told Fox News Digital. “It was an honor to journey through them with the community on the app.”
“[I will] be going through meditations largely from C.S. Lewis,” he added, saying that the series is “something I’m delighted to share with people.”
Roumie shared his excitement for the project, adding that he was thankful to work with Neeson and ( Sr. Miriam James) Heidland to bring this series to life.
“I’m incredibly excited to partner with Liam Neeson and Sr. Miriam James for Hallow’s Pray25 challenge this year,” Roumie said on Instagram. “This content is fantastic and will really impact people and help them find peace during this hectic time of year.”
The Advent series has been designed to help users realize that the deepest desires in their hearts point them to God. Along with the series led by Neeson, the Hallow app will also feature special music for the holiday season to help people get in the Christmas spirit with a heart open to Christ.
