In Lent we turn our gaze towards the sufferings of Jesus.  Jesus suffers voluntarily, freely, out of love for us.  Our Lenten penances are an opportunity to do the same for him.  Self-denial is an essential aspect of moral strength and freedom.  Without it we are incapacitated to love God and others as we should. <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

The Fruits of Self-Denial

"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.
