SS 100 - In What Way Is the Lord the Word?

SS 100

In what way the Lord is the Word
is something few people understand,
for they think that it is possible indeed
for the Lord to enlighten and teach a person
by means of the Word,
and yet not
that He can for that reason be called the Word.
But be it known that everyone embodies his own love,
and so his own goodness and his own truth.
A person would otherwise not be human,
and nothing in him would be human.

It is because a person embodies
his own goodness and own truth
that angels and spirits are human.
For every good and every truth
emanating from the Lord is, in its form, human.

The Lord, however,
is Divine goodness itself and Divine truth itself.
Thus He is supremely human,
on whose account every person is human.
