Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, explains that God does not merely know us and love us from a distance — He invites us into real friendship with Him.

In this SEEK talk, Fr. Gregory shows how divine friendship transforms prayer, worship, community, study, and the whole Christian life. God wants us to know Him, love Him, and share in the fullness of life that only His friendship can give.
