St. Alphonsus Marie Liguori, pray for us!!
God lives outside of time and space and his greatest desire is to have his creatures all return to him. God is everywhere so he does not need space. He is eternal so he does not need time. But He created it for us to live in.
"God...is infinite. There are no parts in Him at all. He is wholly Himself in one inclusive act of being. Because He lacks the limitation of having parts, He is free from the consequent limitation of occupying space. Space cannot contain Him. He transcends space, and the things of space, and indeed all created things. (Taken from Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed, pg 64) "Heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him." (1 Kings 8:27)
"God, who possesses the whole of His being in one single act of infinite existence, wills that a universe should be which possesses its being in successive acts, bit by bit. Eternity belongs to the one, time to the other. God's creative act, like all His acts is in eternity because God is in eternity. The result of His creative act is in time." (Taken from Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed, pgs 68-69) He is "the Father of lights with whom there is no change or shadow of alteration" (James 1:17)
