Keep these words in mind, and they will teach you to say: “O Blessed Virgin, Mother of God, you were nothing and all despised; yet God in His grace regarded you and worked such great things in you. You were worthy of none of them, but the rich and abundant grace of God was upon you, far above any merit of yours. Hail to you! Blessed are you from henceforth and forever, in finding such a God.”—Martin Luther, Magnificat, AE 21:322
Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 230.
