Ep. 51 | Come Away and Rest

Can rest be holy? In this episode, Fr. Gavan reflects on the value of rest, leisure, and recreation. Drawing from Genesis, Church tradition, and wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI, he reminds us that rest is not laziness but a sacred imitation of God’s own rhythm. Rest restores us, allowing us to celebrate life, deepen relationships, and reconnect with our Creator. Jesus’ invitation to “come away and rest” is a call to rediscover the holiness of slowing down.🔴  ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.
