Perfectio omnium perfectionum

Actus essendi (act of being) is the perfectio omnium perfectionum(perfection of all perfections). 

~ Thomas Aquinas

Since last Sunday, I entertained ideas about the contradiction in man's desire for the infinite despite a finite existence. The sermon I heard precipitated fireworks in my consciousness about the innate human awareness of forever, everlasting, hereafter...and the mathematical abstraction of infinity. Ad infinitum. I must agree with what was implied during the homily when father mentioned that it is the inescapable truth that our existence is finite that thus stirs our longing for the infinite. The forever and ever. 

Indeed, there is much that is beyond human understanding.
