Lent is a time of reflection, sacrifice, and spiritual growth. As we focus on building holy habits, we also seek deeper meaning and direction in our faith journey. Recognizing this, Holy Habits is introducing a groundbreaking feature: Saintly Insights—a tool designed to bring the wisdom of the saints into your daily life in a deeply personal way.
This feature is a personalized guide to help you reflect, grow, and apply spiritual wisdom exactly where you need it most. Whether you’re facing challenges, seeking encouragement, or simply looking for direction, Saintly Insights connects you with the profound teachings of the Church in a way that speaks directly to your heart.
What is the Saintly Insights Feature?
At Holy Habits, we’ve always aimed to help users cultivate their spiritual lives through meaningful habits. In the past, we introduced the Confession Logging Feature, which allowed users to track their struggles and receive habit recommendations based on their reflections. Now, with Saintly Insights, we’re taking this concept even further—bridging the gap between personal reflection and the timeless wisdom of the saints.
Here’s how it works:
1. Choose Your Saint
Select from a list of saints like St. Ignatius, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Ávila, and more.
2. Answer Three Reflection Questions
Reflect on your spiritual journey with three key questions:
- Where did you see God working in your life this week?
- What were your biggest challenges or temptations?
- What grace are you asking for right now?
3. Receive a Personalized Saintly Insight
Within seconds, the app generates a unique reflection based on your answers, pulling wisdom from the Bible, Saint quotes, and Church teachings tailored to your specific situation.
This feature is unlike anything done before—combining AI technology with Church wisdom to provide relevant, deeply meaningful spiritual insights in real time.
Why This Matters: Bringing the Saints Into Your Daily Life
The saints were real people—they struggled, doubted, and faced hardships, just like we do. Their writings, prayers, and reflections offer practical guidance for navigating life’s challenges while staying rooted in faith.
With Saintly Insights, their wisdom is no longer something we have to search for—we bring it to you, personalized to your journey. Whether you’re experiencing a spiritual high, enduring a difficult season, or simply seeking to deepen your faith, this feature connects you with the right words at the right time.
Instead of generic inspiration, you receive contextual insights that align with your personal struggles, joys, and prayers.
A Real Example: How Saintly Insights Speaks to Your Life
To demonstrate the impact of this feature, here’s a real-life example:
Drago, our CEO answered the reflection question “Where did you see God working in your life this week?” by sharing a simple but profound moment—his 19-month-old son running up to him with joy, calling “Dad! Dad! Dad!” It was a moment filled with love and connection.
When he submitted this reflection, the Saintly Insight generated responded:
“If you feel this joy when your son runs to you, imagine how God the Father feels when you run to Him in prayer. You are His beloved child, and He delights in your presence.”
This response reframed his experience and deepened his understanding of God’s love. It turned an everyday moment into a profound spiritual insight, reinforcing the idea that God rejoices in our presence just as we delight in the love of our children.
This is the power of Saintly Insights—taking the reality of your life and illuminating it through the wisdom of the Church.
