There Would Not Be A Perfect Likeness

God Destines Us For An End Beyond The Grasp Of Reason.

Future Contingents Cannot Be Certain To Us, Because We Know Them As Such. They Can Be Certain Only To God Whose Understanding Is In Eternity Above Time. Just As A Man Going Along A Road Does Not See Those Who Come After Him; But The Man Who Sees The Whole Road From A Height Sees All Those Who Are Going Along The Road At The Same Time.

To Restore Man, Who Had Been Laid Low By Sin, To The Heights Of Divine Glory, The Word Of The Eternal Father, Though Containing All Things Within His Immensity, Willed To Become Small. This He Did Not By Putting Aside His Greatness But By Taking To Himself Our Littleness.

All That Is True, By Whomsoever It Has Been Said Has Its Origin In The Spirit.

So, To Detract From The Perfection Of Creatures Is To Detract From The Perfection Of Divine Power.
