Quote:
Brothers, let’s strive to conceive a great—a very great—esteem for the majesty and holiness of God. If our mind’s eyes were powerful enough to penetrate ever so little into the immensity of His sovereign excellence, Jesus! with what lofty sentiments we’d be filled! We could easily say, as did Saint Paul, that eyes have never seen, nor ears ever heard, nor mind imagine anything comparable to it. God is an abyss of perfections, an eternal, very holy, very pure, very perfect, and infinitely glorious Being, an infinite Good who encompasses all goods and is incomprehensible in Himself. Now, this knowledge we have, that God is infinitely elevated above all kinds of knowledge and all created understanding, should suffice for us to make us esteem Him infinitely, to annihilate ourselves in His presence, and to cause us to speak of His Supreme Majesty with a great sentiment of reverence and submission; and in proportion as we esteem Him we will also love Him, and this love will produce in us an insatiable desire to acknowledge His benefits and to procure true adorers for Him. ~Saint Vincent de Paul, Conference to his brothers
