Etienne Gilson Quotes
Just As It Is By His Goodness That God Gives Being To Beings, So Also It Is By His Goodness That He Makes Causes To Be Causes, Thus Delegating To Them A Certain Participation In His Actuality. Or Rather, Since Causality Flows From Actuality, Let Us Say That He Confers The One In Conferring The Other, So That To The Christian Mind The Physical World In Which We Live Offers A Face Which Is The Reverse Of Its Physicism Itself, A Face Where All That Was Read On The One Side In Terms Of Force, Energy And Law, Is Now Read, On The Other In Terms Of Participations And Analogies Of The Divine Being. The Christian World Takes On The Character Of A Sacred World With A Relation To God Inscribed In Its Very Being And Every Law That Rules Its Functioning.
