“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.”
~ Thomas Aquinas

Prayer

God of friendship,

On the night before he died, your son Jesus called his disciples friends. Open our minds and hearts to your presence and love. May we experience your deep friendship for each one of us and reach out to others with loving kindness. May our nurturing of the gift of friendship create communities of compassion and care across our nation and throughout the world.  In your name, we pray. Amen.
