SHARING
We thank Maritza for sharing the words of Father Miguel Ortega about friendship.
In the wide world of people, my friends occupy a place of preference.
They have names, faces, history, sins, secrets and last name.
They have learned, they love very intensely.
I have enjoyed coexisting with them and I have also suffered much in their moments of conflict.
Without them, I would not be who I am. Without me, they would not be as they are.
My friends are part of my history and my personal geography.
Somehow they have been potters of my way of feeling and thinking.
They have shaped my clay and I let them model me.
They have been patient with my shortcomings. They laughed out loud at my jokes.
They've heard my secrets in confidence A they've forgiven my repeated falls.
I'm really grateful to them.
God put them on my journey and today I can recognize that free gift.
INSPIRING MUSIC
We are inspired by friendship and the song about it, "Lean on me", from Bill Withers.
Nos inspiran la amistad y la canción sobre ello, "Lean on me" de Bill Withers.

Agradecemos a Maritza por compartir las palabras del Padre Miguel Ortega sobre la amistad.
En el ancho mundo de la gente,
un lugar de preferencia
lo ocupan mis amigos.
Ellos tienen nombre, rostro, historia,
pecados, secretos y apellido.
A ellos he aprendido
a querer muy intensamente.
He gozado con su alegre convivencia
y también he sufrido mucho
en sus momentos de conflicto.
Sin ellos, yo no seria como soy.
Sin mi, ellos no serian como son.
Mis amigos forman parte
de mi historia y de mi geografia personal.
De alguna manera han sido alfareros
de mi manera de sentir y de pensar.
Ellos han modelado mi arcilla
y yo me he dejado modelar.
Han tenido paciencia con mis defectos.
Han reido a carcajadas con mis bromas.
Han escuchado mis largas confidencias.
Y han perdonado mis caidas reiteradas.
Realmente estoy muy agradecido de ellos.
Dios me los puesto en el camino
y hoy puedo reconocer ese regalo gratuito.
