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.

During the stressful and uncertain moments of Holy Thursday, Jesus tells his disciples to trust in God and in Him. This is the solution to having a troubled heart: a heart dominated by fear, worry and anxiety. Our trust in God involves trusting in his Providence. Providence is God's governance of the world and his guiding it to a good end. Four key principles of our faith reveal to us that it is impossible to trust in God's Providence too much.
