Letter: Those meaningful - and elusive - questions about the existence of God

Sir: Anthony Freeman's sincere exploration of the notion that God is 'found in our own hearts and minds' (3 August) is not a new struggle, as has been widely acknowledged already.

I treasure the words of St Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510) written down for me by a distinguished retreat director in 1977, and since then pasted in the back of my Jerusalem Bible: 'My God is me, nor do I recognise any other me except my God himself.'

Yours faithfully,
