Divine Love and Wisdom (Harleys) n. 35

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

35. Since there is such a union of love and wisdom, and of wisdom and love in God-Man, the Divine Essence is one. For the Divine Essence is Divine Love because it is of Divine Wisdom, and Divine Wisdom because it is of Divine Love. And since there is such a union of these, so the Divine Life is one. Life is the Divine Essence. Divine Love and Wisdom are one because the union is reciprocal, and reciprocal union causes oneness. But of reciprocal union more things will be stated elsewhere.
