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.

Corpus Christi: Believing that He is Here
•
Fr. John Grieco
The Feat of Corpus Christi highlights the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. What a great mystery of confidence, consolation and closeness. Knowing that Jesus is truly present should change our way of thinking about him and of relating to him. Above all in communion, the real presence brings us into vital contact with Our Lord.
