On Totality
XIX. On Totality
1. O God, Who art the totality
of Your essence and Your goodness!
You are indivisibly all.
2. God would not consist in the total essence of goodness
were there not to exist <the> bonifier, bonifying and <the> bonified,
for which reason in Him there must exist a Trinity.
3. In God power consists in total wisdom,
and in Him wisdom consists in total power,
and, therefore, He exerts power over everything He so desires.[1]
4. Power, wisdom and will
do not consist in total goodness
unless they do so in a single unity.[2]
5. God loves with all of His will,
just as He knows with all of His wisdom;
let us love Him, then, with all of our might (lit. “power”).
6. Without difference and concordance,
<and> beginning and equality,
there cannot exist a totality of goodness.
7. God consists wholly in unity
and wholly in Trinity,
in virtue of <His> infinity.
8. He who gives himself wholly to God,
can say that God is wholly his,
which is why I give Him my entire self and all that is mine.
9. Everyone can wholly possess God
so long as he loves Him with all of his might (lit. “power”),
for God does not fragment, but, rather, is whole.
10. God consists totally in truth
because He admits of no falsity <whatsoever>,
nor is He an enemy of faithfulness.
