Sunday Evangelium - Totus2us

Fr Andrew: "The friendships of God are truly personal friendships. Jesus weeps at the death of his friend Lazarus. Peter, James, John, Thomas, Martha, Mary and many others in the New Testament are his particular friends. Jesus is brought up in a particular family, by Mary and Joseph. Jesus does not love an abstract idea of humanity or an abstract idea of friendship, but loves this person and that person, you and me. You might say that the whole purpose of our existence here on earth is to become personal friends with God, to know and love God, to become part of the intimate family of God. May everything we do in our lives help to lead us to that goal." Music by Edwin Fawcett. Visit Evangelium.co.uk for more about the Evangelium project and Totus2us.com for more great podcasts.
