In today's Gospel reading from Mark 6, after Jesus had multiplied the five loaves and two fish and fed the five thousand, he made his disciples get into the boat to precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. Then he went off to the mountain to pray. It strikes me that it's really important that we spend time with God alone. We are so occupied doing the many things of the world that we practically lose touch with him altogether. Worshipping the Lord with others at Mass is necessary, but praying to him on our own is equally important. This is to truly enjoy his company, get to know him as a friend, and learn to become like him.
