Spiritual Friendship by Aelred of Rievaulx
A thoughtful guide to the nature and practice of Christian friendship, presenting true companionship as a spiritual good that draws friends toward God through mutual love, virtue, counsel, and prayer; it distinguishes fleeting, self-seeking attachments from friendships ordered to holiness, describes how companions edify and correct one another, and lays out qualities—such as loyalty, humility, and shared spiritual purpose—that make friendship a means of growing in charity and imitation of the divine.
