If man of himself could in a perfect manner know all things visible and invisible, it would indeed be foolish to believe what he does not see. But our manner of knowing is so weak that no philosopher could perfectly investigate the nature of even one little fly. [i] “Sermon on the Apostles' Creed” Thomas Aquinas (died 1274) [i] “Thomas Aquinas”. en.wikiquote.org. {https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas} (accessed December 1, 2021). His foundation upon the holy mountains the Lord loves, the gates of Zion, more than any dwelling of Jacob. Glorious things are said of you, O city of God! I tell of Egypt and Babylon among those that know the Lord; Of Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia: “This man was born there.” And of Zion they shall say: “One and all were born in her; And he who has established her is the Most High Lord.” They shall note, when the peoples are enrolled: “This man was born there.” And all shall sing, in their festive dance: “My home is within you.” [i] [i] Psalm 87: 1-7 – “Daily Readings”.
