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.

Although we might avoid thinking of it, we all know that this life is passing. Reflecting on this truth gives life its proper perspective. One day we will die and pass into eternity. Living a life of faith, hope, and charity will make us ready for that moment. The prospect of eternal life can help make us resilient, daring and loving in this life.
