You are waxing philosophical and eloquent, dearest sister in Christ!

This is beautifully said and will be a regular meditation for me:

Plus, God's Name is I AM THAT I AM. Thus He describes Himself as pure Being — and not existence at all. Existence is derivative of Being, and a participation in it. Being is eternal and absolute; existence is finite and contingent. Plus this Holy Name also strongly suggests to my mind that God is entirely self-subsistent, sui generis; that is, He has no cause outside of Himself. Ergo, He is the prime mover, the uncaused cause of all that there is, on earth and in Heaven.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights!

Thank you so very much, dearest sister in Christ, for your kind words!

Remember, I mentioned before I'd been meditating on your compilation of Holy Names in There Is Only One Great Commandment!

On that basis, may I humbly declare:

Our Father is Life, in perfect Love, Goodness, and Truth, Beauty, Justice, and Mercy. He is, as Newton said, truly the Lord of Life with His creatures....

All praise and glory be to God!
