“In the last verse of The Divine Comedy, Dante defines God as « l’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle« , the love that moves the sun and the other stars (Paradise, xxxiii, 145). This means that the stars, the planets, the whole universe are not governed by a blind force, but by a personal will, the Spirit of God, who in Christ revealed himself as Love. This love is the golden thread that links all parts of creation together.”   —Martin Hoegger, “Love that moves the sun and other stars,” Martin Hoegger, Dec 30, 2019 (retrieved March 26, 2024)
