 True Friendship - Francis de Sales



Love everyone Philothea with a great and charitable love, but have no friendship except with those who communicate with you things of virtue. And the more exquisite the virtues that are the matter of your communications the more perfect shall your friendship also be. If this communication is in knowledge, the friendship is certainly very commendable, but still more so if it is the moral virtues: in prudence, discretion, fortitude and justice. But should your reciprocal communications relate to love, devotion and Christian perfection, good God how precious will this friendship be! It will be excellent because it comes from God, excellent because it tends to God, excellent because its very root is God; excellent because it shall last eternally in God. Oh how good it is to love on earth as they love in heaven to learn to cherish each other in this world as we shall do eternally in the next!
