[Not for kids] The Lenten Challenge: Deny Self, Take up the Cross
2026/02/28 | 24 mins.
Jesus gives two clear conditions for following him: deny yourself and take up your cross each day. Lent is a clear invitation and opportunity to do this.
[Rebroadcast]: Having a Happily Miserable Lent
2026/02/20 | 27 mins.
Lent is a wonderful opportunity to find our peace, joy, and comfort in God. We do this by denying ourselves our usual sources of support, distraction, and pleasure. To be filled by God is to run the risk of emptying ourselves out of other things. This takes trust, courage and patience. God always responds to this kind of personal faith, even when it is imperfect and needs to grow.
A Time for Conversion: Getting Ready for Lent
2026/02/14 | 28 mins.
Jesus's time in the desert fasting and praying are a model for how to live Lent well. If we understand the opportunity that Lent presents us, we will be more engaged and committed in our Lenten practices. This will yield great fruits in our interior life.
The Christian Impact: Salt and Light for the World
2026/02/07 | 30 mins.
Jesus has high hopes for his Church in the world. We are to be salt and light, giving flavor, endurance, guidance and inspiration to the rest of the world. This takes a daily fight against our easy-going lukewarmness and a magnanimity of heart that moves us to serve and give good example to others.
Conversions: St. Paul's and ours
2026/01/31 | 25 mins.
Today we reflect on a unique feast day in the Church, the Conversion of St. Paul. Paul's conversion shows God's initiative in our lives and the great changes grace can work in a soul. St. Paul responds to God's entrance into his life in a powerful and exemplary way. His willingness to suffer for Christ reveals the depth of his love for God.

About Come Away By Yourselves

"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.
