Serenity Magnificence Speak

More From Pope John Paul II

Our very contract with nature has a deep restorative power; contemplation of its magnificence imparts peace and serenity.
Serenity Magnificence Contemplation
A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.

The scotch catechism says that man's chief end is 'to glorify god and enjoy him forever.' but we shall then know that these are the same thing. fully to enjoy is to glorify. in commanding us to glorify him, god is inviting us to enjoy him.

God has no needs. human love, as plato teaches us, is the child of poverty – of want or lack; it is caused by a real or supposed goal in its beloved which the lover needs and desires. but god's love, far from being caused by goodness in the object, causes all the goodness which the object has, loving it first into existence, and then into real, though derivative, lovability. god is goodness. he can give good, but cannot need or get it. in that sense , his love is, as it were, bottomlessly selfless by very definition; it has everything to give, and nothing to receive.

Love Nonsense Platonic
Philosophy, beginning in wonder, as plato and aristotle said, is able to fancy everything different from what it is. it sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. it can take things up and lay them down again. it rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices.
Plato Philosophy Slumber
My mind and fingers have worked like the damned. homer, the bible, plato, locke, lamartine, chateaubriand, beethoven, bach, hummel, mozart, weber are all around me. i study them. i devour them with fury.
Plato Inspiration Mind
Plato had defined man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture-room with the words, "behold plato's man!"
