<p>The paralytic at the pool in Bethsaida had &quot;no man to help him.&quot;  We should always want to be &quot;that man&quot; for others.  Concern for our neighbor takes humility and detachment from our self-concern.  Our love for God is closely linked to this love for others.  You can&apos;t love God without being like him, and God is love. <br/><br/><a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com/'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a></p>

"I come to do your will": St. Josemaria and loving the will of God

"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.
