Today is the Memorial of the Patron of the Missions and, after St Paul, known as one of the greatest of all Missionaries. One of his most beloved attributes was his great love for his friends, most especially St Ignatius Loyola, St Peter Faber and the other founding members of the Society of Jesus.
He wrote:
“For my own great comfort and that I may have you constantly in mind, I have cut from your letters to me your NAMES, written in your own hand and these I always carry about with me, together with the Vow of Professions I made, to be my solace and refreshment.”
“We, who are many, are one in body in Christ and individually we are members one of another.”….Romans 12:5
Think about your friends. What can you do to make your friendships stronger? How can we show them them that we cherish and love them?
St Francis Xavier, St Ignatius Loyola Pray for us!
