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.

This Sunday's readings remind us of so many important realities. We are God's people and precious to him. He has loved us in our sinfulness, before we merited any goodwill on his behalf. We are an apostolic Church chosen by name and invested with power to do good and proclaim the Gospel. Our ordinary lives are actually quite extraordinary!
