Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 35

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

35. Since there is this union of love and wisdom and of wisdom and love in the human God, it constitutes one Divine essence. For the Divine essence is Divine love because it is a property of Divine wisdom, and Divine wisdom because it is a property of Divine love. Moreover, since there is such a union of the two, therefore the Divine life also is one-the life being the Divine essence. Divine love and wisdom are one for the reason that their union is reciprocal, and a reciprocal union produces oneness. However, we will say more about reciprocal union elsewhere.
