Sermo 151,2
Quote 10 12
The invisible attributes of God are shown to those who understand by the works of creation. Ask the world, the ornament of heaven, the beauty and arrangement of the stars; the sun that illumines so much the day; the moon, that is the delight of the night; ask the earth, that fertilizes with its plants and trees, inhabited by animals and embel-lished by men; ask the sea, populated by many and excellent fish; ask the air, abounding in innumerable flying creatures; ask all things and observe if all of them do not answer you, in a certain way: “God has made us”. Famous philosophers also investigated these things, and, and by the skill with which they are made they came to know their Maker.
