Welcome back to the coffee house! We're excited to bring back our good friend Nick to talk about platonic friendships. Can men and women really be only good friends? How important are platonic friendships anyway? And how can we maintain these friendships without making things awkward? We talk about all these things and more, so grab a seat and let's go!

Espresso Shot: "We are all one family in the world. Building a community that empowers everyone to attain their full potential through each of us respecting each other's dignity, rights and responsibilities makes the world a better place to live." ~ St. John Paul the Great

Espresso Shot: "Prayer can truly change your life, for it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart towards the Lord. If we look only at ourselves, with our own limitations and sins, we quickly give way to sadness and discouragement. But if we keep our eyes fixed on the Lord, then our hearts are filled with hope, our minds are washed in the light of truth, and we come to know the fullness of the Gospel with all its promise and life." ~ Saint John Paul the Great

Espresso Shot: "It is a ruse of the devil, by which he deceives good people, to induce them to do more than they are able, so that they end up not being able to do anything. The spirit of God urges one gently to do the good that can be done reasonably, so that it may be done perseveringly and for a long time." ~ St Vincent de Paul
