“Our Lord shares himself by sharing with us everything he has heard from the Father, so that his joy, his happiness, might be ours. Now we can love him in a new kind of way. This is not simply the love of a lowly creature for an all-powerful Creator, or of a servant for his master. This is the love of a friend for a friend. This love is called supernatural charity. This is possible only because God has shared his supernatural life with the soul. This is the highest of virtues. This is what endures, when all else has passed away.” FriendshipCharity Book:True Friendship: Where Virtue Becomes Happiness Source: True Friendship: Where Virtue Becomes Happiness
