Come Away By Yourselves

Come Away By Yourselves

Fr. John Grieco

"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.

Mary Magdalene's encounter with the Risen Christ is truly a master class in love. She teaches us lessons of desire, sorrow, responsibility and union with God. Ultimately, to love is to convert, to make the center of our existence God and others shifting it away from ourselves.

Come Away By Yourselves - A Love Beyond Rights and Duties: The Baptism of Jesus
play

01/11/21 • 30 min

In Jesus's Baptism we see Jesus doing something unnecessary and in a sense unfair. He takes on the role of a sinner, allowing John to baptize him with his baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. At the beginning of his public life, this event foreshadows our redemption at the end of Jesus's life--his death on the cross. Jesus loves us by lowering himself, forgetful of his status and his rights, giving himself in a way that is beyond all necessity and human logic. Christian life is an invitation to do the same.

Come Away By Yourselves - On the Cusp of Christmas: "We wish to see Jesus"
play

12/23/21 • 28 min

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.

Come Away By Yourselves - Good Shepherd, Good Sheep

Good Shepherd, Good Sheep

Come Away By Yourselves

play

05/07/22 • 26 min

The image of our Lord as Good Shepherd is a challenging one. It means that we Christians are sheep. Our pride and self-sufficiency naturally bristle at this image. Only with deep humility, and contemplating Jesus the Lamb of God, can we embrace being sheep and having a Shepherd.
