St. Thomas Aquinas said that friends share three things: time, possessions and secrets. For example, how do I know if you’re my friend? Well, let’s say we’ve been to Mexico together, you’ve tried my shaky attempts at pasta carbonara, and you know what ridiculous costume I wore in a music video I filmed in my early twenties. We, dear reader, are definitely friends. We’ve shared time, possessions and secrets.

Today’s Gospel urges Christians to remain true to their nature to love even when the people around them remain adamant in their nature to hate.

In the First Reading, Saul loved David like a Son, but Saul began to be jealous of David’s popularity. Saul began to pursue David to kill him in order to remove this threat. It would be expected, given the opportunity that David would in turn take Saul’s life in order to “get even.” But when Saul and his men fall asleep and David had a good chance of hitting Saul, he did not “take advantage” of him. David respected Saul as anointed by God.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This month of February is a month filled with special joyful celebrations that contribute toward this Jubilee Year of Hope.

We began the month with the annual acknowledgment of the World Day of the Sick with Mass and the Sacrament of the Sick on February 2.

Many of our youth and young adults, as they attend the Sunday Mass regularly, eventually may ask if God may be calling them to the priesthood or religious life. For boys and young men who have served at the altar, in particular, look to their priests as potential role models in serving the Church. Girls and young women too look to serving Holy Mother Church in religious life as sisters, nuns, and brides of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For those who do not know, the Church has just embarked upon a Jubilee year. This year is called “Pilgrims of Hope." Every twenty-five years, the Pope proclaims a special year of "Jubilee."

In 2025, Pope Francis invites us to be renewed in hope: This Jubilee will thus be a Holy Year marked by the hope that does not fade, our hope in God. May it help us to recover the confident trust that we require, in the Church and in society, in our interpersonal relationships, in international relations, and in our task of promoting the dignity of all persons and respect for God’s gift of creation
