"Stay with us, Lord": Dwelling with Christ in Prayer

Jesus's presence in the Blessed Sacrament affords us a wonderful opportunity.  Just as we spend time with friends and loved ones just to be with them, our mental prayer is an occasion of simply being present with Jesus.  Jesus did this during his earthly life with various groups and individuals.  They cherished these days and hours alone with their Friend, Lord, and Teacher. We can do the same in our prayer life.
