God my Friend

‘But you,’ he said ‘who do you say I am?’

Lk.9:20

Jesus places this question to his disciples. The disciples come up with various opinions from others but Peter supplies his own answer, "The Christ of God."

This is the Big Question of life to which everyone needs their own answer. Who is Jesus? Answers I've heard range from "A Martian." through to "The Holy Son of God" and everything in between. But who do I say Jesus is? I guess I would sum that up with,  "God who is my friend."

God my friend is who I take out into this day.

What a friend I've found 

 Closer than a brother 

 I have felt Your touch 

 More intimate than lovers 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus 

Friend forever

Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
