| Matthew 14:23 | And having dismissed the multitude, *he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when the evening was come he was there alone. John 6:15.; Mark 6:46. | Alone to pray. By our Saviour's conduct on this occasion, we are taught to leave occasionally the society of men, and to retire into solitude, as a more proper place to commune with heaven in earnest and fervent prayer. The company of mortals is often a great distraction to the fervent Christian. (Denis the Carthusian) |
