"[Paul] teaches us, on the one hand, that what is ever and again discovered of that blessed Nature that is the Good is something great but, on the other hand, that what lies beyond what is grasped at any particular point is infinitely greater; and during the entire eternity of the ages this becomes the case for the person who participates (τῷ μετέχοντι) in the Good, since those who participate (τοῖς μετέχουσι) in it receive increase and growth in the they encounter ever greater and better things. For according to the Master's true statement, the person who is pure in heart sees God [Matt 5,8], ever grasping in the mind as much as he is able to take in, in proportion to his capacity. Nevertheless, the infinity and incomprehensibility of the Godhead remains beyond all direct apprehension." (In Cant. 8, 246)
