2293. In particular they are being introduced all the time into knowing no other Father, and after that into acknowledging no other than the Lord alone, and that He is the source of the life they have. For they are made alive, that is to say, they are truly human and angelic beings, because of the intelligence and wisdom - essentially truth and good respectively - which they have solely from the Lord. This explains why they know no other than that they were born in heaven.
