Our desire to see Jesus this Christmas is a deep desire to see God.  Made for heaven, we will be unfulfilled until we see God "face to face."   The Church calls the sight of God in heaven the "beatific vision."  Our earthly happiness also depends on our seeing God in Christ.  This happens in our faith and in our prayer.   Only by purifying our ideas and desires for happiness, making them correspond more perfectly to our true goal, will we be content in this life and happy forever in the next.  <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

On the Cusp of Christmas: "We wish to see Jesus"

"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.
