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.

"As I love you": The Opportunity and Challenge of Love

Season 4
"Love one another as I love you." Jesus has a great confidence in our capacity to love others. The vocation to charity is a tremendous opportunity to make our lives fruitful. In loving others we show them the love Christ and the Father have for them and for us. To do this consistently takes work. Learning to love like Jesus involves purification, overcoming sin, and a lifetime of practice.
