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.

The Feast of the Annunciation: "The Word was made Flesh"

Episode 13
When Mary says "yes" at the Annunciation, the divine Word becomes flesh. The mystery of the Incarnation entails a wondrous exchange of natures. God takes on our human nature in order to have us share in his divine nature. God became one of us so that we could become like him. This lowering of almighty God to share in our human experience and our limitations is very personal. He did it for you and me, for my good and for yours.
