Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 53

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

53. Things created and finite can have ascribed to them being and expression, substance and form, and even life, indeed love and wisdom, but these attributes are all created and finite. They can have these attributes ascribed to them not because they possess anything Divine, but because they are in the Divine and have the Divine in them. For everything that has been created is in itself inanimate and lifeless, but is animated and given life by its having the Divine in it and its being in the Divine.
