St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?" They said in reply, "John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, 'One of the ancient prophets has arisen.'" Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter said in reply, "The Messiah of God" (Luke 9: 18-20).

Jesus wants to know what you think. He cares about your opinion because He wants your friendship. That is an awesome and humbling thought that God almighty wants to be our friend. That should change our life forever.

Lord, I want to be your Friend. Thank you.
