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.

Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane is a model of Christian prayer. His prayer is simple, honest, and focused on God. He perseveres in trusting petition and is eventually strengthened by his heavenly Father. The Agony in the Garden teaches us the importance of fidelity to our own prayer life. We need to pray and in a mysterious way God needs our prayer.
