What Are You Then?

A quote from The Confessions of St. Augustine:

"What art Thou then, my God? What, but the Lord God?... Most hightest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent, most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present, most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all-changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and overspreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things. Thou lovest, without passion; art jealous, without anxiety..."

- p. 3
