Come Away

Fr. Walter Ciszek

"But for the most part, prayer demands an effort on our part. We must learn, even as Jesus Christ himself did, to draw apart from the circumstances that surround us if we wish to be alone with the Father. In the desert, in the mountains, in the fields, he simply retired, leaving his apostles and disciples and the crowds that followed him, in order to pray to the Father. And for us, especially, it is easier to find ourselves alone with the Father if we can be physically alone, if we can retire to a place of quiet where we can collect our thoughts."
