God cannot be grasped by the mind. If he could be grasped, he would not be God.1 Evagrius of Pontus
“A God who is comprehensible is not God.” A God, that is to say, whom we claim to understand exhaustively through the resources of our reasoning brain turns out to be no more than an idol, fashioned in our own image. Such a “God” is most emphatically not the true and living God of the Bible and the Church. Man is made in God's image, but the reverse is not true.
The God who is infinitely beyond our understanding reveals himself to us as person: he calls us each by our name and we answer him.
“Lord, I believe: help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24).
