Fasting is incredible octane for prayer. I started fasting Wednesdays and Fridays a few years back. The graces that came from that were amazing. I not only got prayers answered, I got other little “gifts” I didn’t even know I needed!
Gabi and anyone else reading this please pray for a little baby boy named Slater. I don’t know him or his family but I saw in a friend of a friends post that he’s close to death after an accident. Please pray for Gods will be done for if he passes away he could be an organ donor. And please pray for all children in all hospitals throughout the world. St. Jude pray for us! 🙏🏻 Edit: Our Lord has taken Slater to His heavenly kingdom today. Thank you for all the prayers for him and his family. Thy Will be done 😔🙏🏻 💐
Oh Holy Trinity of Salvation and Grace, Comfort the grief of this family in their loss. Allow their offering of an organ be a.gift for the Salvation of another child. Amen
Bro, im a baby Catholic (1 year at the feast of the Sacred Heart) and your videos have had a huge impact on my heart. It goes beyond the intellectual understanding of the content. I can't quite explain it, except to say that God is capturing my heart through the stories, testimonies and teaching you're putting out. Thank you for your efforts
Keep reading, ask for guidance. Start a rosary time with couple of Catholics. Ok, so Ive got two ladies who are Morman prayng the rosary. Holy Mary Mother Of God pray for us!!!
I love the FFI!!! When I used to live in Connecticut I had 2 friends who were 3rd order Franciscans with them and they used to organize Day With Mary one day retreats with Friars at different parishes in our diocese. You won't get any fluff when they come to your parish and preach, 1000% solid Catholic teaching!!!!
@@margaretoconnor874 They used to have these Day With Mary retreats in the Diocese of Bridgeport pre-covid, that's when I lived there, not sure if they still do them. The friary is in Griswald which is the eastern part of the state
You've walked the walk and talked the talk! Your testimony has truly changed me! All of your videos are phenomenal! Thank you for sharing your love of Jesus and the Blessed Mother with us! May God bless you always! ❤❤❤
Carnivore for 10 months..74 year old.My husband and I have been fasting on Fridays now for several years. Just water.I have been going 40 hours recently .
I completely Agree, Beautiful and Well Said !!! In January 1991, I went to Medjugorje and I wasn't a Catholic yet, had to wait till Easter to be brought into the Church. So, I learned fasting while I was in Medjugorje, already knew about mental prayer. God Bless You, Gabby !!!
I've actually decided a few weeks ago that I will be fasting 40 hours weekly starting Friday 3pm until Sunday morning. I haven't actually started yet but this video has motivated me. I have a lot of areas in my life that need fasting and prayer.
I was scrolling through the comments yours struck me, this is such a beautiful idea. Since the fast ends at 7am it would be amazing to end with mass at that time. This would be such a beautiful way to end Holy Week.
Whoa.... Gabriel I was going to fast tomorrow, anyways, because I am in a desperate situation... You shared this video right on time for me to ask more Grace from God... Thank you bro...
I love that you are making the videos in spanish! I have always wanted to share your videos to my fiends and family but they are all spanish speakers. Thankyou for doing that. I'm praying for you Gabi!
Thank you so much Gabi. I ask for prayers from all who can help. For an 8 yo girl, Anastasia, who’s suffered for many years (abusive parents) and now she’s in more danger bc social workers are taking unethical decisions. Please pray decisions will change so she can be safe and not sent away abroad. Thank you!
@@michelemarkos2450 She was sent abroad despite all. I have no idea what happened to her, and the couple who took care of her (as foster parents) are not being informed. The girl was sent to her father (abusive etc) abroad, although she said she didn’t want to. Continued prayers for Anastasia are needed.
I prayed my best rosary yesterday during my fast. I felt as if I was truly able to effectively contemplate and meditate on the mysteries. It felt like I was talking to someone and being heard. A true sense of peace. May the Lord and Our Lady keep me under their protection. God bless.
Thank you Gaby, this video was an answer to my prayers. I had an abusive husband for 8 years who is a narcissist. Till this day, even after the divorce, he still enjoys harrasing me and poisoning my 7 year old son against me. I have been praying the 4 rosaries for a while and fasting one day a week but he still won't leave me or my son alone. Hurting & manipulation makes him feel alive. I will definitely do the 40 day fasting & mental prayer. Thank you again for all you do. The fire you have in your heart for Jesus & Mary it's contagious ❤
Upper Room Ministries is also a great resource which may help you to be an instrument for his conversion. Vicki Smith is also on fire for Jesus and His church.
Gabi sir your information is very useful for me 1. Fast and pray for 40 hours depending on the individual's ability 2. Pray the rosary with mental awareness Please make video about blessed Carlo Acutis ❤ Thanks Gabi sir and prayers for you
I found this to be true. The old Latin tradition is to fast every day during Lent, even Sundays until 3 p.m. No meat, eggs, or dairy throughout Lent. Then, also, throughout the year, every quarter, there are ember days. Three days to pray and fast for our priests.
On Sundays, the old Latin tradition fasted , while going to mass on Sunday, took communion say at the 11am mass and continued up to 3pm? Then just ate veggan food , even on Sunday ? And done this for the whole Lenten period?
Gabi I’ve always tried to imagine the scene of whichever decade I’m praying years before I knew about mental prayer, but recently I’ve been trying to pray 4 rosaries a day (to beat a mortal sin) but in order to do that I pray the rosary while driving to/from work as that’s the only time I have - it’s hard to concentrate on the road and be so focused on each mystery 😂 surely god understands that I’m doing my best?
Dear Gabi, Time and again, I return to your channel to hear your brotherly voice. Looking to listen to your loving words of perseverance. Today is one of those days....thank you once again for helping me, through God's grace. to refocus in these times of so much uncertainty. God bless you and your family.
Thank you, Gabi, for all that you do. I see the hand of our Lady in all your work. I always anticipate your video every week. May the Holy St. Michael protect you and your family.
Thank you for sharing this valuable guidances. I can feel they are sustained by Grace, probably because you are applying into your life what you are saying. Really helpful, glory to God!
Thank you Gabriel for creating this video full of indispensable advice. I really needed to hear this message today because I feel hopeless and I definitely need God’s graces right now. If you find time in your busy schedule, please say a prayer for me. I would really appreciate it. God bless you Gabi!
At the Solemnity of Pentecost I got fully baptized into the Holy Spirit. No kidding. I'd never been to this mass as a Catholic. 2 yes ago I got confirmed. Anyways when our priest was going around the Cathedral and splashing Holy water on us as the Most Beautiful prayer/hymn was being sung I got hit from behind with the water and I felt it pierce me through and as it pierced it shoved out the negative that has held me in thrall. I am free. I am 70 years old and He gave me back myself. The person I was always supposed to be and I'm so humbled. This mental prayer got me here. Perseverance. The woman being stoned for adultery at the Temple in front of our Lord was who I used to be and worse. God is Live and He is real and He wants to give Himself to us. Please let Him.
Thank you so much for your content. It is life saving. I ask for your prayers for my daughter Veronica suffering from insomnia causing anxiety and depression. I pray for the grace of mental health for her and I ask for community prayer thru the Immaculate Heart of Mary for her healing. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
Fasting in adoration nonstop except restroom and 2 Masses per day is excellent while praying Liturgy of Hours and full Rosary in Latin. Highly reccomended! Yes we all have excuses... but we either do it or don't. The Light of Eternity will shine forever on our choices now... Pax Christi+ 🙏📿✝️⛪️🌎😇
I have been attending the Franciscans of the Immaculate chapels daily for many years now. ( M.A.& C.T.) I will be making my Marian Vow in November with their third order. I can say my spiritual life has grown in ways I could never even imagine. Consider attending a Day with Mary with the Friars or attending one of their locations, you will not be disappointed. Ave Maria!
I use to do 3, 7, 21, or 40 day water fasts as a Pentecostal pastor. Taking nothing but water. I couldn’t do it nowadays. But I thank God for his Holy Church to bring balance and harmony. I’m also in the MI. God bless you brother Gabi! Ave Maria
Providentially timely. I was looking for the number of hours that makes sense to me in fasting for spiritual purposes. Additionally, refreshers on mental prayer are food for my soul. 😌 This video is a concise resource for a spiritual plan of offense. Saving this not only for reference, but will be implementing the content in my life for transformation for myself and those I love ❤ Thank you, @Gabi
I do intermittent fasting, and fast almost every day. It is incredible for good health of mind and body. And before an importnat situation, I pray "Come Holy Spirit, Come".
I fast 18-24h before my chemotherapy treatments. The longest I've ever done was somewhere ~38h. I was going for 48 but couldn't make it :/ It's hard for me to fast because my wife is overweight so she loves food, and I also don't like seeing food going to waste in my fridge.
I love the channel and what you do with the Franciscan Friars I go to there church in New Bedford and i remember when Father Matthias and Father Josemaria were there. I hope you keep up the great work. May the Lord bless you and Our Lady keep you!!
10:57 Thank you Gabi. Following your advice in another video, my wife and I have started praying four rosaries daily. Fasting is something that has been very hard for me to do, but listening to you. I am going to give it another try. Also, I am completely bilingual with Spanish. Let me know if I can help with your Spanish translations.
Gabi, I’d like to try fasting. I’m prediabetic and if I go quite a while without eating I get really shaky and my blood sugar gets a little low. I’m not on medication but control it with diet. What else can I do? I’m doing 4 rosaries a day and your consecration to Mary.
Working on that! My hubby has to be low sodium so I’m cooking more from scratch but I do love sweets! But are limiting those of course. Thanks! It would definitely be a sacrifice to stop sweets all together. Don’t use canned or boxed foods much anymore.
Gaby a donde puedo enviarte una invitación para un retiro de jovenes. Gracias espero veas este mensaje . Virgen María Santísima, ayudame a que vea este mensaje.
Hey Gabi! What do you recommend for someone who has blood sugar problems and is breastfeeding their baby? Should I get off of my phone 40 hours instead? Thank you!
I’m glad you asked, I have a similar question. Personally I think the idea of a phone fast is an excellent thing to offer to Our Lord. There are surely many non-food related ways we can sacrifice something for the love of Jesus. I have multiple health conditions and disabilities. I know that fasting even 24 hours has a risky impact on me. I am not in a position to afford expensive electrolyte supplements either. These issues of health, circumstances, finances, etc will be the case for so many people surely. The purpose of a fast surely is increasing in humility and love of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and uniting our will wholly to his, being with Him in His Passion, and I’m not sure that that can only be attained through a food fast, let alone a 40 hour one. If you can do that then that’s wonderful but as Gabi said we also know our weakness and so does God; if we begin by offering wholeheartedly and honestly our best with the most love possible then personally I think wherever that is, that’s where we should start, not feel guilty because we can’t do the same as the next person. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate what Gabi is teaching about the particular way a food fast unites us with Christ’s sacrifice, and I fully agree we all need to fast, I just don’t think that it’s going to look like 40 hours no food at all for every person. I’d be really interested to hear Gabi’s thoughts.
Thanks very much for sharing. Please, I need you to remember me in your prayers. I'm actually suffering from a habitual sins of the flesh currently 😢 Any advise for me?
Thank you for posting this video Gabriel !❤ I’ve been wanting to fast Wednesdays and Fridays. I have tried in the past and then I give in when I get hungry. If I want to fast for 40 hours first, when exactly do I take the electrolytes? Mother Mary loves you!!
God bless you, Gabi! Can you please resend the vital reply that you sent a month or so ago per my comment? I am not tech savvy so I couldn't copying & it was a long vital gift of intuition that was blessed for you to tell me. I truly need to read it again & pray. Thank you for you generous devotions & help to Shepherd us Home❤
So should I completely just not eat anything those 40 hours. I’m asking to be crystal clear not to complain or anything. This might be a dumb obvious question but should I fast from nicotine and caffeine also in addition to not eating. And just to be clear it is completely from any food whatsoever correct. A final question is that I have to take my multivitamin with iron everyday but it says take with food. When I have taken it without food, I get nauseous, but that is the worst part of it so it’s not like I go into shock or pass out. So should I eat a piece of bread for that or should I purposely get the nauseousness and also offer that up. I am asking these things so I have a clear task and purpose with very defined guidelines and so I know not to divert from it.
Vitamins are fine. I recommend no food. Zero calories, except for your electrolytes. Check out the video I linked in the description. Up to you if you want to do coffee or caffeine. Pray about it.
Praise God!! Please translate the Total Consecration to our Lady videos in Spanish whenever possible so we can share with the members of our family who don’t speak English. Our Blessed Mother Mary keep guiding and praying for you all. God bless you and your families🙏🏽❤
Hi Gabi, I need a guidance for praying entire rosary a day. Please tell me how to pray Litiny ? I should pray Litiny after each rosary with other prayers ?
Hi @ Gabi, yourr teachings are so great. Should one be taking these electrolytes att the end of the fast or in between, say if you are fasting 24 hrs, 36hrs or 40 hrs.? Be blessed as you continue teaching us the Lord's ways.
I take them in the middle.... and if you are doing 40 hrs... bone broth powder with unflavored electrolytes in hot water... you will be surprised that the pain of hunger isn't as bad when your muscles work and your brain is clear.
@gabiafterhours wow, thank you so much for this insight. I am trying to do the mental prayer but concentration is a challenge. That will be my goal now.
How do you do mental for every decade of the rosary, do you offer the one petition for the entire rosary or individual petitions for each decade? I’d like to try the 40 hour fast but I'm on medication.
I did my mental prayer by saying the words in my mind word for word. Any petitions would start in the beginning so as not to break whatever inspirations or meditation from one decade to the next. I did this for more than a year before switching back to oral trying to chew and digest these words. Still the whole mystery may take 2 to 3 times longer than most people. Unfortunately I discovered the mind is like an onion full of layers of thoughts. Your attitude and true intentions should be pure and sincere.
I was baptized, confirmed, and recieved my 1st eucharist on May 18th! Please pray for me!
Congrats! Will pray for you!
Congratulations 🙏🙏🙏

Hey Gabi! What do you recommend for someone who has blood sugar problems and is breastfeeding their baby? Should I get off of my phone 40 hours instead? Thank you!
Yes that's great idea . Nothing will be wasted if we do with pure heart
I’m glad you asked, I have a similar question. Personally I think the idea of a phone fast is an excellent thing to offer to Our Lord. There are surely many non-food related ways we can sacrifice something for the love of Jesus. I have multiple health conditions and disabilities. I know that fasting even 24 hours has a risky impact on me. I am not in a position to afford expensive electrolyte supplements either. These issues of health, circumstances, finances, etc will be the case for so many people surely. The purpose of a fast surely is increasing in humility and love of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and uniting our will wholly to his, being with Him in His Passion, and I’m not sure that that can only be attained through a food fast, let alone a 40 hour one. If you can do that then that’s wonderful but as Gabi said we also know our weakness and so does God; if we begin by offering wholeheartedly and honestly our best with the most love possible then personally I think wherever that is, that’s where we should start, not feel guilty because we can’t do the same as the next person. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate what Gabi is teaching about the particular way a food fast unites us with Christ’s sacrifice, and I fully agree we all need to fast, I just don’t think that it’s going to look like 40 hours no food at all for every person. I’d be really interested to hear Gabi’s thoughts.
What if people can't actually form an image in their mind for mental prayer?
Use literal images, holy pictures, written descriptions etc...
Thanks very much for sharing.
Please, I need you to remember me in your prayers.
I'm actually suffering from a habitual sins of the flesh currently 😢
Any advise for me?
Thank you for posting this video Gabriel !❤ I’ve been wanting to fast Wednesdays and Fridays. I have tried in the past and then I give in when I get hungry. If I want to fast for 40 hours first, when exactly do I take the electrolytes? Mother Mary loves you!!
I recommend in the middle. This way you don't start falling apart.
Thank you Gabriel!
God bless you, Gabi! Can you please resend the vital reply that you sent a month or so ago per my comment? I am not tech savvy so I couldn't copying & it was a long vital gift of intuition that was blessed for you to tell me. I truly need to read it again & pray. Thank you for you generous devotions & help to Shepherd us Home❤
So should I completely just not eat anything those 40 hours. I’m asking to be crystal clear not to complain or anything. This might be a dumb obvious question but should I fast from nicotine and caffeine also in addition to not eating. And just to be clear it is completely from any food whatsoever correct.
A final question is that I have to take my multivitamin with iron everyday but it says take with food. When I have taken it without food, I get nauseous, but that is the worst part of it so it’s not like I go into shock or pass out. So should I eat a piece of bread for that or should I purposely get the nauseousness and also offer that up.
I am asking these things so I have a clear task and purpose with very defined guidelines and so I know not to divert from it.
Vitamins are fine. I recommend no food. Zero calories, except for your electrolytes. Check out the video I linked in the description. Up to you if you want to do coffee or caffeine. Pray about it.
I recommend reaching out to Alex from Voice if Reason for a Spanish collab 🙏
Hi Gabi, do you know where I can get those images that you had of Jesus with the crowning of thorns and the one of our lady holding jesus?
Praise God!! Please translate the Total Consecration to our Lady videos in Spanish whenever possible so we can share with the members of our family who don’t speak English. Our Blessed Mother Mary keep guiding and praying for you all. God bless you and your families🙏🏽❤
100% will do it, but we need to wait for the text of the books to be translated first.
Could you please pray for my mother Eulalia she hasn't been well.
Hi Gabi, I need a guidance for praying entire rosary a day. Please tell me how to pray Litiny ? I should pray Litiny after each rosary with other prayers ?
That vaporwave intro music >>>
YES! Good ear :)... I have a thing for synth :).

Ave Maria!
Hi @ Gabi, yourr teachings are so great. Should one be taking these electrolytes att the end of the fast or in between, say if you are fasting 24 hrs, 36hrs or 40 hrs.?
Be blessed as you continue teaching us the Lord's ways.
I take them in the middle.... and if you are doing 40 hrs... bone broth powder with unflavored electrolytes in hot water... you will be surprised that the pain of hunger isn't as bad when your muscles work and your brain is clear.
@gabiafterhours wow, thank you so much for this insight. I am trying to do the mental prayer but concentration is a challenge. That will be my goal now.
Where is the link to help with the translation of Gabe's video?
We need also material in Italian!
So, how do I go about this 40hrs fast? I feel my kids are under attack spiritually. Hope to hear from you.
How do you do mental for every decade of the rosary, do you offer the one petition for the entire rosary or individual petitions for each decade? I’d like to try the 40 hour fast but I'm on medication.
I did my mental prayer by saying the words in my mind word for word. Any petitions would start in the beginning so as not to break whatever inspirations or meditation from one decade to the next. I did this for more than a year before switching back to oral trying to chew and digest these words. Still the whole mystery may take 2 to 3 times longer than most people. Unfortunately I discovered the mind is like an onion full of layers of thoughts. Your attitude and true intentions should be pure and sincere.
