II.
The Twofold Revelation of God
God makes himself known to humanity through the witness of creation and the clarity of his written Word.
II. This God shows himself as such to people, first through his works, both by creating them and by preserving and governing them.1 Secondly, and more clearly, he reveals himself through his Word, which was initially made known through oracles and later written down in the books we call Holy Scripture.2
Read the original French
II. Ce Dieu se manifeste tel aux hommes, premièrement par ses œuvres, tant par la création que par la conservation et conduite d’icelles. Secondement et plus clairement, par sa Parole, laquelle au commencement révélée par oracles, a été puis après rédigée par écrit aux livres que nous appellons l’Ecriture sainte.

Rule yourself daily, not just on retreat
Chosen Portion turns the mirror into a daily practice — a short reading and examining question each morning before you lead anyone.
Chosen Portion makes the mirror daily: the ruler-formation questions this collection preserves become a two-minute morning examination in the app.
- A daily formation reading drawn from centuries of counsel to those in authority
- One pointed examination question a day — two minutes, before the meetings start
- Track your practice over weeks and watch the examined life become a habit
