Jesus The Friend

Human life is a gift and it remains precious even when marked by suffering and limitations. It is a gift to be accepted and to be loved at all times, received without pay and to be placed without pay at the services of others. ~ Pope John Paul II, Lent 2002


Jesus The Friend

Every quality of friendship
is manifested
in Jesus' relationship with us.

He knows everything about us,
loves us without reservation
sticks with us
through every situation.

In Him our hearts find
acceptance......
confidence......
companionship......

and the blessings of a faithful friend!




Prayer

Lord Jesus,

You love me so deeply
and want so much to make me happy
that I surrender myself wholly to You,
my eyes closed, like a trustful child.
What is best for me I do not know -- long life, short life,
health or sickness, success or failure.
Of one thing I am certain:
that You are love and wisdom itself,
that You know what is best for me.
And so I give myself wholly to You,
placing all my days in Your hands.

Amen
