McCabe Renewal Center - Reflection
Faithful Friend,
today I am immensely grateful for friends
who come in all shapes and flavors,
who love me as I am with my strengths
and with my never-may-be transformed foibles.
I am keenly aware of their touches of goodness.
Their warm, considerate elements of care
are comfort and encouragement to me.
They leave my heart more open and alive.
I thank you for every friend I have,
for each one brings me a unique gift of love.
You, Cherished Wisdom, are astir amid all these loves.
You are the gold within every loving relationship.
You are the faithfulness in long-enduring friendships.
You are the energy of endless goodness in each of us.
I also bring with me the many in my world
who question if they are capable of being lovable,
those whose love has died, choked in the weeds
of bitterness, betrayal, doubt, or despair.
Keep reassuring those who feel friendless
that they have the ability to love and be loved.
