limit

In creating the whole universe, the variety of many manifold things...

We placed a determined act, an ‘enough’ to each thing.

In such a way that they cannot surpass any limit from the way in which they were created. 

-

However, even though it was a determined act and they cannot go any further, it was yet a full act. So much so, that creatures are unable, nor do they have the capacity, to take all the good that each created thing contains. 

This is so true that, who can say: ‘I can take all the light of the sun’? ‘The heavens are not enough for me over my head’? ‘All the waters are not enough for me to quench my thirst’? ‘The earth is not sufficient under my feet’? And so with many other things. 

And this, because as Our Divinity does an act, creates things, Our Love, the superabundance We possess, is so great, that We put in display, luxury, pomp. 

Of none of Our Works can it be said that it is poor.

-

They all make display—some of luxury of light, some make pomp of beauty, some of variety of colors, and more. They seem to be saying, in their mute language: ‘Our Creator is immensely rich, beautiful, powerful, wise, and therefore áll of us, as worthy works of Him, make display of luxury in the office given to us by God.’
