He Came for Us in Our Brokenness to Save Us for Himself

Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Luke 17 and the meaning of supernatural charity. Unlike natural love, which loves because of perceived goodness, charity loves because of God’s goodness, drawing us into the very life of Christ. Jesus reverses the master–servant dynamic: He feeds His disciples with His body and blood, washes their feet, and makes them His friends. The Christian life is not mere imitation but true union with Jesus, who gives Himself completely and unites us to His saving friendship.
