Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons and Addresses of His Eminence William Cardinal O´connell, Archbishop of Boston, Vol. 1 We have not received the spirit of the world but the spirit which is of God. God created man in the beginning according to His own image. Gazing in divine contemplation upon His essence, He saw there the countless millions of possible things that by one act of His Supreme Will might spring into existence obedient to his irresistible fiat. Each of these would be of necessity an imitation, though feeble and inadequate, of that which can never be equaled. Everything that exists or can exist, the towering mountain or the gently sloping vale, the sweeping impetuous torrent or the smooth-gliding rivulet, the soaring eagle or the timid dove, the fierce and powerful beast of prey or the gentle, trembling lamb, although different in character and habit, though varying in form and figure, all embody, all proclaim, in some degree and manner, the power, the strength, the beauty, the gentleness of their Almighty Creator. Everything which in His Might God has made must bear the impress of His touch, and the higher in the scale of creation the closer the image, until man comes, the noblest and most perfect creature, a little world in himself, and to God assimilated more closely than aught else terrestrial.
