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.

God and Love for Little Things
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the Incarnation, the Infinite God becomes finite, limited, even small. The Word is made flesh and begins his earthly life as an infant, as a little thing. In the spiritual life, little things are also a dwelling place of God. Little deeds, ordinary tasks, and everyday moments are all opportunities for us "to seek Christ, to find Christ, to love Christ", who is present but hidden in each circumstance.
