Matthew 14:23
Douay-Rheims
And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
George Leo Haydock
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)
