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.

"To be holy in his sight": Playing our Role for God
•
Fr. John Grieco
Prophecy wasn't Amos' original plan for life. God chose him to be a prophet. St. Paul speaks of God choosing small and weak people to do great things for him. God also chooses us for great things: holiness and mission. Our persona, our role in life, should be more and more determined by God's vision and less by our own or by others'.
