Cultivate
spiritual
friendships in your own life.
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux lived in a Carmelite convent with
her older sister Pauline. Pauline was with Thérèse
throughout her brief life, illness, and death at the tender
age of 24. It is no accident that Jesus sent out his disciples
in pairs. Having a spiritual companion, as Thérèse did, can
be of great help and comfort on the sometimes difficult
spiritual journey. Cultivate spiritual friendships in your own
life.—Take Five for Faith
