The Principles of a Good Friendship

"We're paralyzed by our options, rather than empowered by the choice of one." 💯

[@caitlinreedy7878]

I've never had holy friendships. I can't seem to connect with people on a deeper level. Please pray for me.

[@mosesaudu1734]

May Our Lord Jesus Christ grant you that special grace.

Two things - If you want a good friend be a good friend. And, Jesus valued friendship so much that he equated the best type of friendship as the kind that lays down its life for others.

"Freedom is to come to the greatest expression of the powers that define you." Quoted. Noted.

“Spiritual goods initially we find them forbidding.” This is so true. Thanks for the insight.

[@gmahlman]

I am always impressed by insights and verbal nuance given by Dominicans. For example, using the word "satiate". Keep up the good interviews Matt!

I was showing this clip to my son (18), because the message really applies to some drama he is going through. At the end I asked him what he thought. He replied "I couldn't get past the action figures." **sigh**🙄

I want to like this video, but Fr. Pine has provided more than enough likes. 😊

❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏friendship calls forth the best in us...

[@tomlabooks3263]

Excellent conversation. So much deep and valuable insight from both of you guys in a short clip like this is gold.

[@nicholasvogt2524]

This was such a good interview

[@charlesbuzbee1043]

Excellent! Making me rethink the time I spend on internet and Facebook. Father Pine is such an inspiration.

Holy Friendship is essential - it's what we are called to have with Our Lord Himself and with our "neighbor." I have personally found that technology can actually be a great tool to sustain and deepen friendships. Romans 8:28 "All things work for good for those who love God." How to have holy, satisfying, edifying, inspiring, spirituality enriching friendships? Desire it!

Love your clean look in this video, Matt.

[@juliocastelo9704]

Wise words 👌🏻

[@jayv9006]

[@mindeehaydel2043]

YES! This video...just YES

[@jakubpodesva5033]

Awesome thoughts enhanced with not less awesome humor.

[@kimberlylim2039]

It's really hard to be around people

[@annaholley2885]

wow ❤❤❤❤

[@paulahickey2123]

What is that mark on Fr Pine's forehead? All the speakers on Aquinas 101 seem to have it in the same place. Is it some sort of initiation?

[@ihs2021]

[@didiernuncio70]

Does Fr. Pine saying sweet lord in 7:49 count as taking the Lord's name in vain?

[@wrangler6922]

He says it as a very quick kind of prayer, not as a curse.

EACH of my experiences with friendship has always turned VERY bad. I don't believe in friendship! The ONLY friend who has been good to me is my wife. Friendship is WAY too overrated!

[@stephanietanniss]

And she is the friend for you! Good Bless!

[@scottcowen4071]

Poor Matt a monk speaking of sports. Lol

[@uluvr1c3]

Is it just me or does his habit look really white

[@msn1590]

Kind of confuse, & not religious
