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.
Come Away By Yourselves
Like the Apostles
•
Fr. John Grieco
Like the apostles themselves, the life of the Christian is a call to be close to Jesus and to go out and spread the Good News. Holiness and apostolate are two sides to the same divine vocation. To be an apostle, however, we have to confront various obstacles which would keep us from sharing Christ with others.
