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.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." What a difference it makes to know that Jesus is present within us! Ours is a God who loves us, understands us, and wants to help us. And he doesn't do this from a far distance, he is more present to us than we are to ourselves. With him present in our soul, we need never be alone.
