As I listen to today’s first reading from Sirach, I can’t help but smile when I think of the common use of “BFF” today. Certainly, Jesus is the very best BEST FRIEND FOREVER!
“A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth” (Sirach 6: 14-15).
It seems to me that our friendship with Jesus sheds light on what should characterize our friendship with others, and our friendship with others can help reflect the gift of friendship we have with Jesus.
I certainly feel blessed to have a few good friends who serve as this reflection for me. Who are the friends for whom you are grateful today?
