TCR 641 - Things Purely Divine

TCR 641

The merit and righteousness of the Lord are purely Divine,
and if things purely Divine
were applied and ascribed to a person
he would instantly die;
and like a log cast into the sun's pure fire,
he would be so consumed
that scarcely his ashes would remain.
Therefore, the Lord with His Divine
approaches both angels and men by means of light
tempered and moderated
according to the capacity and nature of each,
thus by means of that which
is adequate and accommodated;
and in like manner He approaches by means of heat.
