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.

Advent is essentially a time of preparation. To prepare for Jesus is to make our souls and lives more welcoming places for him to arrive. This entails conversion, confession, a real change of heart and mind. The changes that Jesus can bring about in our lives and in the world are truly incredible. To let him do this, we need to be on board with the program.
