"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.

Rebroadcast: "Become what you receive": Easter and the Eucharist
The Holy Mass makes present Jesus' Resurrection as well as his sacrifice on the Cross. The Body of Christ, as a resurrected body, is a gift that is given to others. To receive our Lord is to become like him and moves us to imitate his goodness.

From Death to Life: "A new creation in Christ"
Jesus's death is a great mystery of our faith. It leads to his resurrection and to our eternal life. In accepting death, Jesus enters into the nothingness of sin and evil to conquer it from within. Through his death, he is reborn into resurrected, eternal life. In our Christian life, he invites us into the same dynamic journey.

The Cross and the Mass: Too Much Love
Jesus's sacrifice on the cross is already accepted and offered by him at the Last Supper. "This is my body, given for you." Both the Mass and the Cross reveal to us an incredible love. A love that we are called to imitate and a love that can make us secure no matter what happens to us in this life.

The Passion of Jesus: "By his wounds we have been healed"
As we enter Holy Week, we contemplate the suffering of Jesus in his passion. This suffering reveals to us both the gravity of sin and the unfathomable love of God for us in Jesus Christ. To contemplate our Lord in his passion can and should be a spur to personal conversion.

Nourishment for the journey
I am so ver grateful for this re-alignment in my spirituality. Whenever I am beginning to get derailed either by my daily commitments, the world around me or the world inside; I am always consistently consoled and brought back to a peaceful rest when I settle in and pray these medications. Thank God for this podcast.
Try it! You’ll love it… if you dare…. JW

Meditations on the go
