«L'amicizia di Gesù ci ricorda che Dio mette una virgola dove noi credevamo possibile solo un punto finale.» L'amicizia è uno dei valori più importanti per ognuno di noi, ma anche un aspetto della vita così naturale, e a volte dato per scontato, che raramente ci fermiamo a riflettere su cosa significhi davvero la parola "amico". Se ci pensiamo, l'amico è chi cammina sempre al nostro fianco, anche se separato da migliaia di chilometri o da decine di anni di distanza: nell'amicizia, il lontano e la distanza sono dimensioni del tutto relative.
