John 1:18
Douay-Rheims
No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Gregory the Great
(xviii. Moral. c. 54. 90. vet. xxxviii.) Some hold that in the place of bliss, God is visible in His brightness, but not in His nature. This is to indulge in over much subtlety. For in that simple and unchangeable essence, no division can be made between the nature and the brightness.
