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.

Afraid of the End of the World?

The "end of the world" is the coming of Christ in power and glory. As such, it is not so much a destructive end as it is a fulfillment and completion. To be safe at the Lord's coming, at the time of judgment, we especially need to be truthful now. The sure path of eternal life is the path which is Jesus himself: "the way, the truth, and the life." This entails bravely overcoming our self-deception and "loving Jesus more than our sins." Living in this way liberates us from fear of divine judgment, whether at our death or at the end of time.
