A proposito di questo titolo
Today’s readings move from a mother’s tears, to the structure of the soul, to the mind of God Himself. Augustine recounts how God quietly answered Monica’s relentless prayers—not by immediate rescue, but by a promise that slowly reshaped both of their lives. Aquinas then takes us into the inner life of God, arguing that God knows Himself perfectly, and in knowing Himself, knows all things—past, present, and possible—without receiving anything from the world. Together, these readings remind us that divine knowledge is not reactive, human, or improvised. God does not learn as we do; He knows by being. And yet that perfect, eternal knowledge bends patiently toward the cries of a weeping mother.
Readings:
Augustine of Hippo, The Confessions Book 3, Chapter 11 (Sections 19–20)
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica Part 1, Question 14 (Articles 2–4 Combined)
