TCR 634 - trust Him only

TCR 634
Do not, reader, put your trust in Councils,
but in the Holy Word.
Approach the Lord
and you will be enlightened.
For He is the Word,
that is to say,
the very Divine Truth in it.

TCR 641
The Lord's merit and righteousness . . . are wholly Divine;
and what is wholly Divine is such
that if applied and attributed to a human being,
he would instantly die,
and like a block of wood
thrown into the unprotected sun
would be so thoroughly consumed
that hardly a trace of ash would be left.
The Lord therefore with His divinity
approaches angels and men by means of light
tempered and modified to suit
the ability and nature of the individual,
. . . and likewise by means of heat.
