Foreword

1. Does God Have Friends?

A novelty that grows ever stronger

From dust to life

Towards communion

2. To light up the earth

An enormous coefficient of expansion

By this they will know you…

It is easier then to climb

My friends for Jesus

3. A Reciprocal Love

Affection in two directions

Friendship enriches our view of the world

A mutual gift

4. Fraternity and Friendship

Fraternity becomes friendship

God’s finger is here

The least jealous of loves

5. See what good friends they are

Side by side

“This is what it should be like”

Friendship in a hectic world

Trusting in what unites us

An image of God’s patience
