FRIENDSHIP AND ENCOUNTER

There are billions of people on earth

So many of them we may never meet

If Goodness permits some encounter

 Friendship springs up and begins to flourish

 

 Long ago, Saint Julie and Francoise’s paths crossed

Julie poor and infirm, Francoise affluent and strong

Of course, Goodness says yes to their encounter

 Friendship begun to grow

 

To every encounter, it’s a privileged and a rare opportunity

The good thief encountered Jesus on the cross and stole eternal life

Goodness is always happy when someone encounters the Divine

Of course, friendship takes root and flourish

 

Every Saint Julie’s daughter loves to have a special encounter with God

This is because their relationship is built on friendship

True friendship brings about growth

Because friendship and encounter are clearly one.

 

It is friendship that leads us thus far

Following Saint Julie’s dreams and making more dreams

Among the people of God every where

Making known God’s goodness in friendship
