Next meeting: Feb. 3rd in the Susquehanna room.
On happiness...
“The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.”
On heaven...
“To pretend to describe the excellence, the greatness or duration of the happiness of heaven by the most artful composition of words would be but to darken and cloud it; to talk of raptures and ecstasies, joy and singing, is but to set forth very low.”
On holiness...
“As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature's holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as (the) brightness of a jewel, held in the sun's beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun.'”
