Reflections on Friendship and Unity with Jesus
‘… encounter each day your best friend, the
friend who is Jesus.’
How can we do this?
Friendship is ‘a relationship of affection
that brings us together and … makes us
seek the good of our friend’.
How can we seek the good of a
friend?
How can we help?
‘Friendship is so important that Jesus calls himself
a friend: “I do not call you servants any longer, but
I call you friends” (Jn 15:15).’
What difference does it makes that
we are friends of Jesus rather than
servants?
‘Friendship with Jesus cannot be broken.
He never leaves us, even though at
times it appears that he keeps silent.’
What can cause our friendship
with Jesus to be broken?
‘With Jesus too, we can always have a conversation.
Prayer is both a challenge and an adventure.’
How can prayer be an adventure?
‘Jesus can bring all the young people of the Church
together in a single dream, “a great dream, a dream
with a place for everyone”.’
How can friendship bring
unity?
