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
The Mercy of God and the Wounds of Christ

In saving us from sin Jesus does more than relieve us of an unpayable debt. He actually pays the debt himself. He buys us back, redeems us, with the price of his precious blood. The wounds of Christ are thus mysterious sources of confidence and consolation for us, worthy of our continual contemplation.
