Description

On this Thanksgiving weekend, we take time to reflect on gratitude.  Gratitude is an essential act of prayer.  Being grateful is closely linked to joy and freedom from sadness and despair.  The grateful soul needs humility, temperance and chastity to continually recognize all of the gifts that come from God.  For the study on gratitude and well-being, please visit: https://hfh.fas.harvard.edu/how-to-flourish

"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.
