Whoever reveres the Lord find true, loyal friends.

“A loyal friend is a powerful defence: whoever finds one has indeed found a treasure. A loyal friend is something beyond price, there is no measuring his worth. A loyal friend is the elixir of life, and those who fear the Lord will find one. Whoever fears the Lord makes true friends, for as a person is, so is his friend too.” Sirach 6:14-17

Every human being needs a true friend. It is said in the Bible that when the first man was created, no suitable helper for him was found; and that was when God created a friend for him. A loyal friend is sent by God to stay by you through thick and thin, to advise and correct you when you are wrong and share your joy when you do right. May God grant each of us loyal and true friends, and may He bless our friendships so that they may be true and lasting unto eternal life.
