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.

Jesus promises rest for those who come to him labored and heavy laden. To receive rest from God happens in a special way in our prayer. Accepting God's will and growing in trust help us to rest even when we have serious concerns in our life. Adoration especially refreshes the soul. To adore God is to relieve ourselves of the burden of trying to live without him.
