“A friend is more to be longed for than the light; I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of friends; better to live in darkness, than to be without friends” ― St. John Chrysostom
My best friend at Michigan State was my roommate and fellow Regnum Christi member, Kevin Konno. He went to Mass every Sunday and when possible during the week, and he was faithful to his daily prayers, rosary, and weekly holy hour. Kevin was an extremely dedicated Electrical Engineering student, he played basketball with intensity but also with charity, and he had fun in a measured way, always treating girls with respect. He came up with the idea that if either one of us ever came back to the room drunk, we would have to pay up $25 “cash” the next morning. Kevin was a genuine friend who continually inspired and challenged me. Do your friends inspire and challenge you?
