Description
Friendship isn’t just a longing―it’s a holy calling.
Friendship in the Lord is a timeless Catholic spiritual classic that reveals how authentic friendship, when rooted in Christ, becomes a path to holiness, healing, and joy.
Written by Dominican priest Fr. Paul Hinnebusch, this beloved work―first published in 1974 and now reintroduced for a new generation―offers a grace-filled response to the modern experience of isolation and surface-level connection.
Blending theological depth with personal reflection, Hinnebusch shows how friendship grounded in Christ is not merely supportive, but transformative. Drawing from Scripture, the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the lived witness of the saints, he presents friendship as a participation in the very life of the Trinity.
Through rich storytelling and spiritual insight, you’ll discover how holy friendship:
deepens intimacy while honoring freedom draws out the best in one another through love and truth becomes a source of mutual encouragement, sacrifice, and prayer reflects God’s own way of loving
Reflecting on saintly friendships such as St. Catherine of Siena and Bl. Raymond of Capua, St. Jane Frances de Chantal and St. Francis de Sales, and others, this book invites readers to reclaim the art of seeing, honoring, and loving others as Christ does.
In a culture marked by loneliness, Friendship in the Lord is a powerful invitation to rediscover the beauty of spiritual friendship―and to become the kind of friend your soul, and the Church, needs.
