Seek His Face Evermore

Ut inveniendus quaeratur, occultus est; ut inventus quaeratur, immensus est. Unde alibi dicitur, ‘Quaerite faciem ejus semper’.

—Augustine, Tractates on the Gospel of John, 63:1 (419)

He is hidden in order that you might seek him; and in order that you might not cease in your search once you have found him, he is infinite. Thus it is said . . . “Seek his face evermore”.(Psalm 105:4).

—Translation by John Betz, "Beyond the Sublime" (2006)
