• The fact is that the more we take flight upward [to God], the more our words are confined to the ideas we are capable of forming; so that now as we plunge into that darkness which is beyond intellect, we shall find ourselves not simply running short of words but actually speechless and unknowing.

• ...Dios no posee un conocimiento privado de Sí mismo y un conocimiento separado de todas las criaturas en común. La Causa universal, conociéndose a Sí misma, difícilmente puede ignorar las cosas que proceden de Ella y de las cuales es la fuente. Así, pues, es como Dios conoce todas las cosas, no comprendiendo las cosas, sino comprendiéndose a Sí mismo.

• The title 'Righteousness' is given to God because He assigns what is appropriate to all things; he distributes their due proportion, beauty, rank, arrangement, their proper and fitting place and order.

• ¡¡Trinidad!! ¡Más alta que cualquier ser, cualquier divinidad, cualquier bondad! ¡Guía de los cristianos en la sabiduría del cielo! Condúcenos más allá del desconocimiento y de la luz, hasta la cima más alta y lejana de la escritura mística, donde los misterios de la Palabra de Dios yacen simples, absolutos e inmutables en la brillante oscuridad de un silencio oculto. En medio de la sombra más profunda derraman una luz sobrecogedora sobre lo más manifiesto. En medio de lo que no se percibe ni se ve, llenan por completo nuestras mentes sin vista con tesoros que van más allá de toda belleza.

• La Palabra de Dios hace uso de imágenes poéticas cuando habla de... inteligencias sin forma, pero... no lo hace por amor al arte, sino como una concesión a la naturaleza de nuestra propia mente. Utiliza pasajes de las escrituras de manera edificante como una forma, provista para nosotros desde el principio, de elevar nuestra mente de una manera adecuada a nuestra naturaleza.

• [God] is perfect not only insofar as He is absolute perfection, defining perfection in Himself and from His singular existence and total perfection, but also because He is far beyond being so. He sets a boundary to the boundless and in His total unity He rises above all limitation. He is neither contained nor comprehended by anything. He reaches out to everything and beyond everything and does so with unfailing generosity and unstinted activity.

  Pope Dionysius

  Christian, Perfect, Generosity

• Se puede tomar la eternidad y el tiempo como predicados de Dios ya que, siendo el Anciano de Días, Él es la causa de todo tiempo y eternidad. Sin embargo, Él es antes del tiempo y más allá del tiempo y es la fuente de la variedad del tiempo y de las estaciones. O también, Él precede a las edades eternas, porque Él está allí antes de la eternidad y por encima de la eternidad, y 'Su reino es un reino eterno' (Sal. 145:13). Amén.

• I pray we... come to this darkness so far above light! If only we lacked sight and knowledge so as to see, so as to know, unseeing and unknowing, that which lies beyond all vision and knowledge. For this would be really to see and to know: to praise the Transcendent One in a transcending way... We would be like sculptors who set out to carve a statue. They remove every obstacle to the pure view of the hidden image, and simply by the act of clearing aside they show up the beauty which is hidden.

• ...we must all offer up a hymn of praise to the God... who is 'Lord of lords' (Deut. 10:17, Ps. 136:1, I Tim. 6:15, Rev. 17:14, 19:16)... Lordship is not simply a matter of being superior with respect to inferiors but a complete possession of all that is beautiful and good, and is furthermore a true and unshakable stability.

• 'Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights' (Jms. 1:17). But there is something more. Inspired by the Father, each procession of the Light spreads itself generously toward us, and, in its power to unify, it stirs us by lifting us up. It returns us back to the oneness and deifying simplicity of the Father who gathers us in. For, as the sacred Word says, 'from Him and to Him are all things' (Rom. 11:36).

• Our Lord Jesus Christ made the merciful shepherding of His sheep the proof of love for Himself (cf. Jn. 21:15-17). He denounces as 'wicked' the servant who refused to pardon the debt of his fellow servant and who did not share in even the smallest way, the immense kindness that was bestowed on himself; that he should suffer the fate which he dealt is plainly shown to be right (cf. Mt. 18:32-33).

• We make assertions and denials of what is next to [the Divine Nature], but never of It, for It is both beyond every assertion, being the perfect and unique cause of all things, and, by virtue of Its preeminently simple and absolute nature, free of every limitation, beyond every limitation; it is also beyond every denial.

• Todos los ángeles traen revelaciones y noticias de sus superiores. Los primeros traen la palabra de Dios, que es su inspirador, mientras que los demás, según el lugar en que se encuentren, hablan de los inspirados por Dios... los más santos de los serafines 'gritan unos a otros' (Is. 6:3)... esto demuestra que los primeros rangos transmiten a los segundos lo que saben de Dios.

• La palabra de Dios ha proporcionado nueve designaciones explicativas de los seres celestiales... el primer grupo está siempre alrededor de Dios y se dice que está permanentemente unido a Él por delante de cualquiera de los otros y sin intermediario. Aquí están los "tronos" santísimos y las órdenes de las que se dice que poseen muchos ojos y muchas alas, llamadas en hebreo "querubines" y "serafines"... El segundo grupo... está formado por 'autoridades', 'dominios' y 'poderes'. Y el tercero, al final de las jerarquías celestiales, es el grupo de los "ángeles", "arcángeles" y "principados".

• The name 'cherubim' means 'fullness of knowledge' or 'outpouring of wisdom'... The name cherubim signifies the power to know and to see God, to receive the greatest gifts of His light, to contemplate the divine splendor in primordial power, to be filled with the gifts that bring wisdom and to share these generously with subordinates as a part of the beneficent outpouring of His wisdom.

• What has actually to be said about the Cause of everything is this. Since it is the Cause of all beings, we should posit and ascribe to it all the affirmations we make in regard to beings, and, more appropriately, we should negate all these affirmations, since It surpasses all being. Now we should not conclude that the negations are simply the opposites of the affirmations, but rather that the cause of all is considerably prior to this, beyond privations, beyond every denial, beyond every assertion.

  Pope Dionysius

  Christian, Opposites, Denial

• ...if we know God our knowledge of... everything will be brought to perfection, and, in so far as is possible, the infinite, divine and ineffable dwelling place (cf. Jn. 14:2) will be ours to enjoy. For this is what our sainted teacher said in his famous philosophical aphorism: 'Then we shall know as we are known' (I Cor. 13:12), when we mingle our god-formed mind and divine reason to what is properly its own and the image returns to the archetype for which it now longs.
