Come Away By Yourselves
"Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while." These words of Jesus Christ are an invitation to personal and intimate prayer. The meditations offered in this podcast are intended to help the listener enter into his own prayerful relationship with God. By reflecting on scenes from the Gospel, on other passages from Scripture, and on the insights of saints and spiritual writers, we can strengthen our faith in Jesus and our love for God. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "I have called you my friends." By regular meditation and dialogue with Our Lord in prayer, our life can be transformed into an ever deepening and loving friendship with God.

Today we contemplate three ways of thinking about Jesus and his coming. He is the light of the world to whom John the Baptist gives witness. He is the eternal Word. John's voice and ours expresses this Word in preaching and in holiness of life. He is our salvation. By turning away from sin and towards charity with his help, Jesus heals us and brings us deep peace and joy.
