“Concerning the height and depth of faith, Ecclesiasticus says: "In the highest heavens did I dwell, my throne on a pillar of cloud." The height of faith consists in understanding the eternal God, its depth, in knowing God made man. The words "in the highest heavens" indicate the teaching of faith that God is eternal.…”
