TCR 27, 31 - time and space

TCR 27
There are two properties peculiar to the natural world
which make everything in it finite.
One is space, the other time.
Because that world was created by God,
and spatial distances and periods of time
were created along with it
and serve to define it,
their two starting-points,
immensity and eternity,
need to be discussed.
For the immensity of God relates to space,
and His eternity to time,
while His infinity embraces both immensity and eternity.

TCR 31 [2]
The angels in heaven understand
by the immensity of God
the Divinity as to Its Being (Esse),
and by His eternity
the Divinity as to Its Coming-into-Being (Existere);
they understand also
by immensity the Divinity as to Love
and by eternity the Divinity as to Wisdom.
This is because the angels banish 
space and time from their ideas of the Divinity, 
and this is the result.
But because human beings are incapable of thinking
except by means of ideas formed from
spatial and temporal concepts,
they cannot form any idea 
of the immensity of God before space existed 
or His eternity before time existed.
In fact,
when the human mind wishes to form such an idea,
. . . in the attempt to penetrate these mysteries,
it can easily become deranged,
and thus be led to deny the existence of God.
