91. And the Apostle added: “For
of Him, and through Him, and in Him are all things.” What
is “of Him”? That the nature of everything is of His
will, and He is the Author of all things which have come into
being. “Through Him” means what? That the
establishment and continuance of all things is His gift. What is
“in Him”? That all things by a wonderful kind of
longing and unspeakable love look upon the Author of their life, and
the Giver of their graces and functions, according to that which is
written: “The eyes of all look unto Thee,” and
“Thou openest Thine hand and fillest every living creature with
Thy good pleasure.” Ps. cxlv.
