Great quote on the transcendence and mystery of God - #41 - Gaudete et Exsultate - Apostolic Exhortation by Pope Francis - on the call to holiness


I am currently reading the Apostolic Exhortation issued by Pope Francis earlier this month - Guadete et Exsultate.  Like most of Pope Francis' writings, there are a lot of "down to earth" quotes in this material.  Here is a great quote on the mystery of God and God's transcendence.  So often, we try to put God into a box, don't we?  

God infinitely transcends us; he is full of surprises. We are not the ones to determine when and how we will encounter him; the exact times and places of that encounter are not up to us. Someone who wants everything to be clear and sure presumes to control God’s transcendence.
