“It was creation that introduced the verb ‘have.’ When there was only God, before the world was made, there was only one verb, and only one form of the verb –namely, the infinitive ‘to be’ – to indicate the Supreme being of God. God has nothing, but because He is sheer being, He is infinitely rich. If God had anything, it would be a sign that He needed something external to Himself in order to perfect His being.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Guide to Contentment)
