Come Away By Yourselves: A Guide to Making a Retreat

About this book

A Guide to Prayer for Busy Catholics(a better subtitle) Our Lord longs for us to step away from the distractions of life and be with Him. This call is not just for those in the monastic life or the priesthood. He calls all men and women to a deep and intimate knowledge of Himself. This applies also to the over-busy mother of many to the stressed and time-crunched father of a family and to the college graduate establishing himself in a career and readying himself for family life. This book is designed to teach you the practical means of making a retreat within the busy days that characterize your life. It also provides you with a mini-retreat comprised of nine reflections based on the writings of Saint Alphonsus Liguori. A deep and intimate prayer life is within your grasp. Sometimes we just need someone to show us how to seize it how to make the time and how to use that time effectively.
