No matter what time of day I read it...it is the best 3 minutes of my day. - Adela

I have the 3-Minute Retreat app and it’s a great way to slow down, reflect on something deeper, and prepare for the day before delving into the emails and tasks of the day. The app is incredibly handy with lovely graphics and music to transport you.
