<p>Jesus&apos; visit to Martha and Mary contains great insights for our Christian life.  Mary&apos;s attention to our Lord is a great act of appreciation and love.  Jesus&apos; correction of Martha is not owing to her being busy serving, but more for her being distracted and worried.  Love, which includes prayer, is the one thing necessary.   And love unites our attention, giving focus and purpose to all that we do.<br/><br/><a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a></p>

Humility and Self Esteem

"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.
