We know many concepts on friendship and we even seek to fit our experiences in many of these concepts but we not do always have the opportunity to share them. Therefore, I take this opportunity to share a concept based on my personal experience and hope to help you to re-encounter your distant friendships.

I had the grace of living in the Canção Nova Mission in Fátima, Portugal for four years. It was a fantastic mission, learning and living, especially what Our Lady of Fatima and the shepherd children provided to live. It was in this time that I met Denilson and re-encountered Dijarira, two among so many that touched my life and became responsible for many especial moments that I lived. A friendship translated to the daily life and shared spontaneously that helped me to grow overall as a man of God.
