'Friendship is one of life’s gifts and a grace from God. Faithful friends, who stand at our side in times of difficulty, are a reflection of the Lord’s love, His gentle and consoling presence in our lives.' These are words of Pope Francis. The Prelate of Opus Dei, Don Fernando, wrote a long letter on Friendship in 2019 prioritizing the need for personal contact with people. The following year, the Holy Father also highlighted the importance of the art of encounter as an aspiration and a style of life.
