Docta ignorantia

I am somebody because I understand

-how ignorant I really am

If I say I know the truth

-I only deceive myself and expose

-my own ignorance and pride

The more I know Him who is the Truth

-the more I realise how little I know

The better I know the truth

-the more I seek to know Him

The truth is always greater

-greater than all my images

-greater than my understanding

-greater than my faith

-greater than my knowledge

-greater than my experience

-greater than my explanation

-greater than my insight

-greater than my thoughts and mind

-greater than my heart

He who is the Truth is always greater!

Still this is my testimony:

I know Him and I love Him!

    I smiled when I realized how true this is:) What does ‘docta’ mean? Inspired by your trip to Spain?

    You are right Paul! I found the expression in a Norwegian book, written by a Swede, which I read in Spain. I think it is Latin. The meaning is supposed to be “the informed or educated ignorance”!
