Quote of the Week

John Henry Newman's definition of God:

"I mean then by the Supreme Being...
that He is without beginning or Eternal, 
and the only Eternal...
And hence that His is all-sufficient, 
sufficient for his own blessedness, 
and all-blessed, and ever-blessed. 
I mean a Being, who having these prerogatives...
has all the attributes of Good in infinite intensity; 
all wisdom, all truth, all justice, 
all love, all holiness, all beauty; 
who is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent; 
ineffably one, absolutely perfect; 
and such, that what we do not know 
and cannot even imagine of Him, 
is far more wonderful 
than what we do or can."
