Description

Jesus' apparent failure on the Cross is in reality a great victory.  His suffering was necessary for his glorification and for our salvation.  As Christians, our suffering is similarly necessary.  It is a means of purification, sanctification, and co-redemption.   Living through trials lovingly and prayerfully can teach us tremendous lessons about God and ourselves.  Like Christ, the trusting acceptance of our crosses becomes a great victory over sin and selfishness.  https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

"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.
