FRIENDSHIP

The gift of a good friend is something to be treasured always.  And especially, the ability to be a good friend puts life and meaning into our lives.

Of course, the true value of friendship begins with our spiritual self and the efforts we make to develop our relationship with God, our Father.

This can help us to have the right disposition when we are making efforts to be a good friend with another.  Do we just act as our natural self, or do we allow our spiritual self, which is encompassed with virtues of faith, hope and charity to become uppermost in the efforts we make to be a true friend?

The more aware we are of our spiritual self and our relationship with God, our Father, the more enriched we become with love and patience and kindness.  We become a true child of God and allow His love to shine through us.
