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.

"Pray without ceasing": Benefits of Prayer
•
Fr. John Grieco
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jesus encourages us to pray constantly. This advice is seconded by St. Paul and many other saints. Scripture teaches us the many benefits of habitual prayer: joy, motivation, peace and fruitfulness. Prayer is the very shape of Christian life: a sharing of our life with Christ's.
