¡Cuántas cosas hermosas se podrían decir con respecto a la amistad! Pero es más importante sentirla y vivirla que definirla. La amistad es una necesidad humana. Todos necesitamos a alguien en quien confiar y con quien compartir los momentos importantes de nuestra vida diaria. La amistad es una necesidad vital; algo así como el aire que se respira y como el sol que nos alumbra. Nadie puede vivir sin una amistad. Dice la Biblia que quien encuentra un amigo ha encontrado el mejor tesoro (Eclesiástico 6,14). Dios mismo tuvo y tiene sus amistades. A manera de ejemplo, Abraham es llamado "amigo de Dios" (Isaías 41,8 y Santiago 2,23). Jesús llamó "amigos" a sus apóstoles (Juan 15,15) y también tuvo amigos personales: Lázaro y sus hermanas Marta y María (Juan 11,1-35). Así que también nosotros podemos ser amigos de Dios y de Jesús. Los invito a que hagamos un esfuerzo por ver, sentir y tratar a Jesús como el amigo personal que tanto necesitamos.

Friendship: Friends of God
There are many beautiful things we could say relating to friendship. But it is most important to feel it and live it rather than to define it. Friendship is a human necessity. We all need someone whom we can confide in and share important moments with about matters of our daily life. Friendship is a vital necessity; something like the air that we breath and the sun that shines on us. Nobody can live without a friend. The Bible says that whomever finds a friend finds a treasure (Ecl 6,14 ). God himself had and has his friends. As a matter of example, Abraham is named "friend of God” (Isaiah 41, 8 and James 2, 23). Jesus called the apostles his “friends” (John 15, 15) and he also had personal friends: Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary (John 11, 1-35). Therefore, we may also be a friend to God and Jesus. I invite you to make the effort to see, feel and treat Jesus as a personal friend whom we need very much.
