Paperback, [EAN: 9781331275640], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from Sermons and Addresses of His Eminence William, Cardinal O'connell, Vol. 2: Archbishop of BostonWhen from the silence of the earth, man, animated by the breath of God, stood forth a reality in the universe, upon his being was stamped indelibly the seal of God's power, and reflected on his soul, fresh fashioned by Omnipotence, shone out in splendid radiance, God's image and likeness. Man was made like unto God. It would seem that even Omnipotence could do no more. But who can sound the depths, who reach, even in wildest fancy, the heights of the Divine bounty and power? Who is the counselor of Him who created wisdom? Who shall restrain the arm of Him who holds heaven and earth in the hollow of His hand? When, therefore, it pleased His infinite Will not only to make man like God, but to go even farther and make God like man, when in the fullness of time, at the appointed hour Omnipotence Itself lay a helpless babe in Mary's arms, Wisdom became a mute infant, the King of Kings took for his robe of state coarse swaddling clothes, and He at whose bidding the sun sent forth its heat and light, lay shivering from the midnight cold, who shall question the designs of God? What is man to do as lie hears the awful mystery, "the Word was made flesh," but prostrate his nothingness before the Infinite and cry, "Lord, I believe"?The story of Christ's Birth is old yet ever new.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
