Chapter XX. Of Meditation on the Beauty of God

CONCERNING the Beauty of God it should be enough for us to know that it is such and so great, that God Himself, from all eternity contemplating it without ever turning aside from it, remains in His Infinite Capacity incomprehensibly satisfied and blessed.

O man, know now the dignity to which the Goodness of God calls you, and be no more so dull of heart as to despise it, giving your love to vanity, lies, and shadows.

God calls you to the love of His Power, Wisdom, and Goodness, to be charmed with His Beauty, and to enter into His joy; and do you turn a deaf ear? Think, think upon what you are doing, lest the hour come upon you when repentance shall be unavailing.
