Let us first consider the Divine Esse, and afterwards the Divine essence. In appearance the two are one and the same; but esse is more universal than essence. For essence implies esse, and is derived from esse. The Esse of God (or the Divine Esse) it is impossible to define because it transcends every idea of human thought. Since this can take in only what is created and finite, and not what is uncreate and infinite. Therefore, not the Divine Esse. The Divine Esse is Esse itself, which all things are, and which must be in all things in order that they may have being. The one God is called Jehovah from Esse because He alone Is, Was, and Is To Be. Because, He is the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega. The one God is substance itself and Form itself. Angels and men are substances and forms from Him, and so far as they are in Him and He is in them are images and likenesses of Him.
