Having a small group of close friends can be a great joy in our lives, being able to share with other people our lows and our highs.
Here is a prayer for your friends adapted from the St. Andrew Daily Missal, asking God to grant them health and well-being.
O God, who by the grace of the Holy Spirit
did pour the gifts of charity into the hearts of your faithful,
grant health of mind and body to our friends,
that they may love you with all their strength
and accomplish with perfect love what is pleasing to you.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
And today we celebrate...
