Fr. Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Spiritual Friendship

• What is Friendship?
• (10:47) How do we navigate seasons of life?
• (15:20) Susanne - Greeting people daily. Having been retired taking care of people. I've found that being kind like to the cashier at the grocery store.

(19:06) Break 1

• Maria - How can I attain a spiritual director so I can have a spiritual friendship?
• (22:59) Nora - I have a couple of nieces who are adults. They appreciate my friendship, but I don't hear back from them. How should I deal with this?
• How do we know what friendships are good to have and which ones are not healthy?
• What is the role of forgiveness in friendship?
• Jessica - I was just recently at confession and my priest told me that I need to seek friends in the church. Why is that so important? I feel that I am old now and have a hard time understanding the why.

(40:44) Break 2

• How do you navigate friendships between men and women?
• Francesca - I'm a convert. 10 years ago. Old friends who are certainly non-Catholic. There's been tension. Any ideas if I should pursue this friendship or how to approach.
