The Works Of Dionysius The Areopagite Volumes 1&2 -Dionysius The AreopagiteSECTION IIAlmighty God, then, is named great in reference to His own peculiar greatness, which imparts itself to all things great; and overflows, and extends itself outside of all greatness; embracing every place, surpassing every number, going through every infinitude, both in reference to its super-fulness, and mighty operation, and its fontal gifts, in so far as these, being participated by all in a stream of boundless gifts, are altogether undiminished, and have the same superfulness, and are not lessened by the impartations, but are even still more bubbling over. This Greatness then is infinite, and without measure and without number. And this is the pre-eminence as regards the absolute and surpassing flood of the incomprehensible greatness. |
