Father Broom preaches on the Feast Day of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen – Both Doctors of the Eastern Church and best friends.
These men – with completely different personalities and temperaments – had a spiritual friendship that helped both of them become Saints.
Father Broom gives the qualities of spiritual friendship and explains how we can lead each other to Heaven. Spiritual friends pray for each other, are humble, are willing to give and receive fraternal correction. Such friends share spiritual treasures, strive to sanctify each other and most of all encourage each other especially in times of desolation.
Basil and Gregory, Francis and Clare, John Bosco and Joseph Cafasso, Francis de Sales and Jane Frances de Chantal, Paul and Timothy, Ignatius and Francis Xavier. Let’s form spiritual friendships for the Love of God, to Become Saints, and to Save Souls!
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
