Psalm 138:6 Douay-Rheims

Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: it is high, and I cannot reach to it.

Basil of Caesarea

c. A.D. 330–379 Patristic

And so, when you have gone over all these points with suitable reflections on each, when you have, in addition, studied the process of breathing, the manner in which the heart conserves its warmth, the organs of digestion and the veins, you will discern in all of these wonders the inscrutable wisdom of the Creator; so that you will be able to say with the prophet: "Your knowledge is become wonderful" from the study of myself. "Give heed, therefore, to yourself," that you may give heed to God, to whom be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
