A meditation by Clement of Alexandria

"To talk about God is most difficult...For how can that be expressed which is neither genus, nor difference, nor species, nor individual, nor number...No one can rightly express him wholly. For on account of his greatness he is ranked as the All, and is the Father of the universe...For the One is indivisible, and therefore also is infinite...and not having a limit. And therefore is without form and name. And if we name it, we do not do so properly, naming it either the One, or the Good, or Mind, or Absolute Being, or Father, or God, or Creator or Lord. We speak not of supplying his name; but for want, we use good names in order that the mind may have these points as support, so as not to err in other respects. For each each by itself does not express God; but altogether are indicative of the power of the Omnipotent."
