Mystery

“God is mystery” (CCC 206)

Because God is infinite, we can never fully understand God, so God will always be a mystery.

We can sum up these quotes with these two:

“All creatures bear a certain resemblance to God, most especially man, created in the image and likeness of God. The manifold perfections of creatures - their truth, their goodness, their beauty all reflect the infinite perfection of God. Consequently we can name God by taking his creatures" perfections as our starting point, "for from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator".” (CCC 41)

Many have sought to work out if there is an ultimate reality and what it is like. ….. Therefore it is possible “God, the beginning and end of all things, can be known with certainty from created reality by the light of human reason” (DV 6).
