But I Have Called You Friends

Mother Mary Francis gives us a fresh look at one of the oldest arts--friendship. Long before you have finished the book you will know that the author really means it. She goes to the source of Love and invites you to accompany her. You cannot sell friendship. You can only give it away. That is what Mother Mary Francis does. Love and friendship, coming straight from the heart of God, are poisoned by going through the filter of a selfish and self-centered heart. Yet it is friendship and love, unmasked and real, that every man seeks. Mother Mary Francis tells us how to recapture the commodity in shortest supply in the world, the love and friendship of Jesus Christ, in whom we have our friendship with all his brothers and sisters. This book is for everyone. For those married, and about to be, for here is the deepest of human friendships. It is for religious, for in Christ they are to make a community of friendship. For friends, and for those you would like to be your friends.
