The Feast of the Visitation reminds me once again that everyone ought to have an Elizabeth in his or her life. In his Introduction to the Devout Life, St. Francis de Sales wrote: “Love everyone with a deep love based on charity… but form friendships only with those who can share virtuous things with you. The higher the virtues you share and exchange with others, the more perfect your friendship will be.”
At the heart of friendship is a deep-seated truth: God never destined man to be alone. Together, we are called to aide each other on the journey to heaven.
