What is the essence of God according to the sacred scriptures and Catholic theologians (e.g. Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great, Athanasius, Benedict XVI)?

Pax
Laudater Jesus Christus
Instaurare omnia in Christo
 
CCC 214 God, “HE WHO IS”, revealed himself to Israel as the one “abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness”. These two terms express summarily the riches of the divine name. In all his works God displays, not only his kindness, goodness, grace and steadfast love, but also his trustworthiness, constancy, faithfulness and truth. “I give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness.” He is the Truth, for “God is light and in him there is no darkness”; “God is love”, as the apostle John teaches.
