""To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens; who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. (!) Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." (Isaiah 40:25-26)
"Isaiah's discovery that God is beyond compare reveals what may seem a disturbing truth: God is, finally, unknowable. Still while he is not to be absolutely known, he is apparently willing to reveal something of himself to us at nearly every turn. Think of it like this: he cannot be exhausted by our ideas about him, but he is everywhere suggested...
...He cannot be comprehended, but he can be touched. His coming in the flesh - this Mystery we prepare to glimpse again - confirms that he is to be touched."
(God With Us, p. 57)
