We know him only by his most wise and excellent contrivances of things, and final causes; we admire him for his perfections; but we reverence and adore him on account of his dominion. For we adore him as his servants; and a God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but Fate and Nature. Blind metaphysical necessity, which is certainly the same always and every where, could produce no variety of things.

The whole of salvation history is the story of God looking for us: he offers us love and welcomes us with tenderness.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.

If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God.

God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

As a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.
