“A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a
friend can sometimes heal us and offer us God's forgiveness. A friend is that
other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. A
friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "Isn't that
beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the
horizon. With a friend we don't have to say or do something special. With a
friend we can be still and know that God is there with both of us.”
― Henri J.M.
