352 2, 38 | pressure on man to reject God, even to the point of hating
353 2, 38 | the point of contempt for God," as St. Augustine puts
354 2, 38 | will be inclined to see in God primarily a limitation of
355 2, 38 | when, accepting the idea of God, he attributes to God what
356 2, 38 | of God, he attributes to God what belongs to man, and
357 2, 38 | in which the rejection of God has reached the point of
358 2, 38 | ideology of the "death of God" is more a threat to man,
359 2, 38 | creature would disappear...when God is forgotten the creature
360 2, 38 | ideology of the "death of God" easily demonstrates in
361 2, 39 | who searches the depths of God was called by Jesus in his
362 2, 39 | searching the depths of God." From the very beginning,
363 2, 39 | contrary to the will of God, to the salvific will of
364 2, 39 | to the salvific will of God; indeed, sin has appeared
365 2, 39 | glimpse in the "depths of God" and in a certain sense
366 2, 39 | sin is an offense against God. What corresponds, in the
367 2, 39 | and gift? The concept of God as the necessarily most
368 2, 39 | certainly excludes from God any pain deriving from deficiencies
369 2, 39 | wounds; but in the "depths of God" there is a Father's love
370 2, 39 | Testaments, attributes to God. In man, mercy includes
371 2, 39 | misfortunes of one's neighbor. In God, the Spirit-Love expresses
372 2, 39 | outpouring of salvific love. From God, in the unity of the Father
373 2, 39 | humanity the "suffering" of God is concretized, there will
374 2, 39 | sacrifice of the Lamb of God who has become even "unto
375 2, 40 | himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience

377 2, 40 | forgiven."151 ~We know that "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
378 2, 40 | himself without blemish to God," and how he did this "with
379 2, 40 | became perfectly subjected to God and united to him, and at
380 2, 40 | searches...the depths of God" and is himself love and
381 2, 40 | love and gift. ~The Son of God Jesus Christ, as man, in
382 2, 40 | himself without blemish to God:154 In his humanity he was
383 2, 41 | suffering, now the pain of God in Christ crucified acquires

392 2, 43 | secret sanctuary" in which "God's voice echoes." The conscience
393 2, 43 | conscience is "the voice of God," even when man recognizes
394 2, 44 | efforts and the help of God s grace."175 The Council
395 2, 45 | Sacred Book attributes to God? Is it not an echo of that "
396 2, 45 | works to serve the living God."178 Thus there are continuously
397 2, 46 | accept the salvation which God offers to man through the
398 2, 47 | the "loss of the sense of God." In the Exhortation just
399 2, 47 | mentioned we read: "In fact, God is the origin and the supreme
400 2, 47 | Hence it is the reality of God that reveals and illustrates
401 2, 47 | sense of offense against God, namely the true sense of
402 2, 47 | constantly implores from God the grace that integrity

406 2, 48 | the point of contempt of God," but rather will rise toward
407 3, 49 | by the "measurement" of God himself: a transcendent
408 3, 49 | beginning and the end."194 "For God so loved the world that
409 3, 49 | the time had finally come, God sent forth his Son, born
410 3, 49 | called holy, the Son of God."197 ~Matthew narrates directly: "

412 3, 49 | as the Father: "God from God, Light from Light, true
413 3, 49 | Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten,
414 3, 49 | Light, true God from true God; begotten, not made." He
415 3, 50 | absolute mystery of the Triune God, is the Person-love, the
416 3, 50 | every gift that comes from God in the order of creation,
417 3, 50 | certain sense, the subject of God's self-communication in
418 3, 50 | self-communication of the Triune God in the Holy Spirit. "By
419 3, 50 | of Man, who is the Son of God. By means of this "humanization"
420 3, 50 | the self-communication of God reaches its definitive fullness
421 3, 50 | The Incarnation of God the Son signifies the taking
422 3, 50 | taking up into unity with God not only of human nature,
423 3, 51 | that self-communication of God which surpassed every human
424 3, 51 | human heart to the gift: to God's self-communication in
425 3, 51 | freedom."208 When the Triune; God opens himself to man in
426 3, 51 | Spirit, this opening of God reveals and also gives to
427 3, 52 | in its fullest form is in God, except by making it the
428 3, 52 | to become the children of God."211 But all this was accomplished
429 3, 52 | are led by the Spirit of God" are "children of God."212
430 3, 52 | of God" are "children of God."212 The filiation of divine
431 3, 52 | or rebirth. happens when God the Father "sends the Spirit
432 3, 52 | that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs,
433 3, 52 | children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ."215
434 3, 52 | this new life is as it were God's definitive answer to the
435 3, 52 | revealing of the sons of God,"217 that is, those whom
436 3, 52 | that is, those whom God has "foreknown" and whom
437 3, 53 | the Spirit which is from God."221 ~But as we follow this
438 3, 53 | in a manner known only to God offers to every man the
439 3, 54 | 54. "God is spirit, and those who
440 3, 54 | to all those who "worship God in spirit and truth." It
441 3, 54 | the mystery of the Triune God, who in himself is wholly
442 3, 54 | he is absolute Spirit, "God is spirit"227; and also,
443 3, 54 | true in relation to man: God is present in the intimacy
444 3, 54 | which St. Augustine said of God that he was "closer than
445 3, 54 | to the Samaritan woman: "God is spirit." Only the Spirit
446 3, 54 | form. In him "the grace of God has appeared indeed."229
447 3, 54 | indeed."229 The love of God the Father, as a gift, infinite
448 3, 54 | who is the source of all God's salvific activity in the
449 3, 54 | the world: he, the "hidden God,"230 who as love and gift "
450 3, 54 | going to meet the invisible God, the hidden God: a meeting
451 3, 54 | invisible God, the hidden God: a meeting with the Spirit "
452 3, 55 | of salvation shows that God's coming close and making
453 3, 55 | contradiction."232 Opposition to God, who is an invisible Spirit,
454 3, 55 | difference of the world from God, that is to say in the world'
455 3, 55 | if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you."238 The contrast
456 3, 55 | ethical reality; and on God's part, the mystery of the
457 3, 56 | the presence and action of God, who is spirit, in the world
458 3, 56 | because it does not accept God's existence, being a system
459 3, 56 | will see the salvation of God."243 This is a possibility
460 3, 56 | against the flesh," with God's approach to us, his Incarnation,
461 3, 56 | firmly believes that on God's part there is always a
462 3, 57 | precisely this human being that God has drawn near to, God who
463 3, 57 | that God has drawn near to, God who is Spirit. God the Father, "
464 3, 57 | near to, God who is Spirit. God the Father, "sending his
465 3, 57 | Paschal Mystery, the Son of God, made man and crucified
466 3, 58 | the life that comes from God himself, in close union
467 3, 58 | springs. This is man's life in God, which, as a fruit of God'
468 3, 58 | God, which, as a fruit of God's salvific self-communication
469 3, 58 | Therefore St. Paul speaks to God on behalf of believers,
470 3, 58 | everything, even the depths of God."252 In this Spirit, who
471 3, 58 | eternal gift, the Triune God opens himself to man, to
472 3, 58 | sanctifying self-opening of God. Through the gift of grace,
473 3, 58 | Spirit," a living temple of God.253 For through the Holy
474 3, 58 | divine life. Man lives in God and by God: he lives "according
475 3, 58 | Man lives in God and by God: he lives "according to
476 3, 59 | intimate relationship with God in the Holy Spirit also
477 3, 59 | that image and likeness of God which man is from his very
478 3, 59 | of the relationship with God. There also has to be rediscovered
479 3, 59 | is the only creature that God wishes for himself" in his
480 3, 59 | the meaning of humanity - God comes close to man, and
481 3, 59 | human world. The Triune God, who "exists" in himself
482 3, 59 | Kingdom develops in which God will be definitively "all
483 3, 59 | the opening of the Triune God to an and the world, in
484 3, 59 | union of the children of God in truth and charity."259
485 3, 59 | the status of a child of God, and so understands better
486 3, 59 | because he is the subject of God's approach and presence,
487 3, 59 | said that "the glory of God is the living man, yet man'
488 3, 59 | s life is the vision of God" 260: man, living a divine
489 3, 59 | divine life, is the glory of God, and the Holy Spirit is
490 3, 60 | freedom of the children of God." Man's growth in this life
