Wonderful video & lesson. It is so true, friendships are so important as they teach us to love deeper, to care for someone else in a truthful manner & teaches us to belong to something bigger than ourselves. When a person has great friendships it adds so much to your life. They make you a better person, spiritually & emotionally. They are blessed gifts from God 🙏🕊💜

6 days, 84 views. How? Why? What are people watching that’s better??? Thanks, keep up the good job. I’ve heard you several years ago for the 1st time and appreciate your enthusiasm to enlight others. Could you make a vid on the books (besides the Bible) that you consider pillars? I’m a forever learner and lean on others’ wisdom to grow beyond the here and now for the same reason you discussed today: we learn together, we learn from each other. God bless you and guide you!

Loved this video Ray. I guess I always knew that I should have Godly people surrounding me, but I was similar to you in that once I got married, I really wasn't worried about having friends of any sort. I guess just the busyness of starting a family can take up a lot of time, especially when our kids are young, so I really didn't want to spend time with anyone besides my family. Now as my kids have grown a little older, I do agree that it would be nice to spend time with some Godly adults who are focused on Christ in similar ways to my family. 💯

Hello! Really appreciated your video. I am a 15 year old "traditional" Catholic who at times attends the Tridentine Latin Mass. I attend retreats at times for fraternity and vocation purposes. I've been trying for a year to build lifelong Catholic friendships with people my age. I've made some really good few friends so far with faithful folks. I don't really meet these kinds of people at my school or regular places where I'm at so I kinda have to seek them out by going to retreats and such. Any advice? God bless.

Wish I lived by u guys…but Ave Maria is a great holy community.❤️🙏🥰God bless u all…..

I want to make friends :D

I trudge into church every weekend and trudge out afterwards. Parishes don't care if we are friends or not. We all know that. "Start at your church"??? What fantasy land are you living in?

So apparently our all loving God will send us to hell if we don't have friends? Or should I say, the "right" kind of friends..... Who knew?
