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.

"Do not turn your back on your own": Christian Charity

Episode 6
The corporal works of mercy are the scorecard by which we will be judged at the final judgment. Awareness and alleviation of the needs of others are essential components of Christian life. Our modern lifestyle and society often hides the most needy from us. To help others who really need it, we have to be intentional and to fight against our tendency to comfort and self-seeking. When we commit to Charity, we experience God more intensely, enjoy a peaceful conscience, and often benefit even more than those we are helping.
