God’s perfection.

God is the abode of all perfection, for he is perfection itself. Remember some perfection, such as goodness, justice, mercy, and so on. God is not only good. He is goodness, mercy, justice itself. God has everything, without any shadow of imperfection. God knows directly, immediately; he knows everything completely with one eternal gaze. When we realize this, it will be apparent that God is a being that cannot come from another. God is first, eternal. It is impossible to imagine such an ample space containing God, nor a line limiting his immensity. St. Augustine compares the universe to a sponge. Which seawater washes from wholly and everywhere penetrate. After all, the sea is not whole in it; while God is authentic in every place, he is complete in every one of us. The Lord calls the holy bishop to another location.
I finally found where you live. I wandered like a lost sheep, I looked for you outside, and you were in me. What unprecedented horizons this thesis gives us. We are never alone. On the contrary, we still live in the presence of the Supreme, the Most Holy. We still have God with us. We have with us an attentive witness who will not do anything, an impartial judge whom no one will deceive. God permeates our very essence. These great ideas have been the light and support of many people in the past. All teachers of the spiritual life recommend living in God’s presence and consider it an essential element of the spiritual life. This exercise is sweet for the righteous, difficult for sinners, solvable for both. Sinners feel God’s presence, like heavy lead handcuffs; the righteous enjoy it. Well, who would dare to think of God’s presence to sin? St. Augustine speaks. If you want to sin, find a place where God cannot see you.
We should learn to see God in everything. In a beautiful rose, in the murmur of the wind, in the silence of the desert, in a flying eagle, the size of a sea, as well as in a small flower. It is necessary to learn, to reveal him, to admire him in everything. Every creature comes from him, and therefore by him and with him, he is given to serve me. God Himself enlightens my steps in the sun with the sun and through the sun. He is in the bread I eat, and through the bread, he sustains my life. It is necessary to learn to attribute everything to him, to thank him for everything; everything should lead me to him. The means to realize God’s presence are restraint, silence, separation from external objects.
