Disasters teach us humility.

And indeed we believe you [God] to be something than which a greater cannot be conceived.

I believe in order that I may understand.

Therefore Lord God, you are more truly omnipotent, because you have no power through impotence and nothing can be against you.

But a problem occurs about nothing. For that from which something is made is a cause of the thing made from it; and, necessarily,every cause contributes some assistance to the effect's existence.

Disasters teach us humility.

O supreme and unapproachable light! O whole and blessed truth, how far art thou from me, who am so near to thee! How far removed art thou from my vision, though I am so near to thine! Everywhere thou art wholly present, and I see thee not. In thee I move, and in thee I have my being; and I cannot come to thee. Thou art within me, and about me, and I feel thee not.
