503 1, 2, 1, 295 | all that he has made."143 God creates "out of nothing"~
504 1, 2, 1, 296 | 296 We believe that God needs no pre-existent thing
505 1, 2, 1, 296 | the divine substance.144 God creates freely "out of nothing":145~
506 1, 2, 1, 296 | out of nothing":145~If God had drawn the world from

508 1, 2, 1, 297 | them, and recognize that God did not make them out of
509 1, 2, 1, 298 | 298 Since God could create everything
510 1, 2, 1, 298 | through the Resurrection. God "gives life to the dead

515 1, 2, 1, 299 | created in the "image of God" and called to a personal
516 1, 2, 1, 299 | personal relationship with God.152 Our human understanding,
517 1, 2, 1, 299 | intellect, can understand what God tells us by means of his
518 1, 2, 1, 299 | creation comes forth from God's goodness, it shares in
519 1, 2, 1, 299 | in that goodness - "and God saw that it was good. . .
520 1, 2, 1, 299 | very good"154- for God willed creation as a gift
521 1, 2, 1, 299 | of the physical world.155~God transcends creation and
522 1, 2, 1, 300 | 300 God is infinitely greater than
523 1, 2, 1, 300 | the heavens."156 Indeed, God's "greatness is unsearchable".157
524 1, 2, 1, 300 | cause of all that exists, God is present to his creatures'
525 1, 2, 1, 300 | words of St. Augustine, God is "higher than my highest
526 1, 2, 1, 300 | than my innermost self".159~God upholds and sustains creation~
527 1, 2, 1, 301 | 301 With creation, God does not abandon his creatures
528 1, 2, 1, 301 | who love the living.160~V. GOD CARRIES OUT HIS PLAN: DIVINE
529 1, 2, 1, 302 | to be attained, to which God has destined it. We call "
530 1, 2, 1, 302 | the dispositions by which God guides his creation toward

539 1, 2, 1, 306 | greatness and goodness. For God grants his creatures not
540 1, 2, 1, 307 | 307 To human beings God even gives the power of
541 1, 2, 1, 307 | having dominion over it.168 God thus enables men to be intelligent
542 1, 2, 1, 307 | unconscious collaborators with God's will, they can also enter
543 1, 2, 1, 307 | They then fully become "God's fellow workers" and co-workers
544 1, 2, 1, 308 | 308 The truth that God is at work in all the actions
545 1, 2, 1, 308 | inseparable from faith in God the Creator. God is the
546 1, 2, 1, 308 | faith in God the Creator. God is the first cause who operates
547 1, 2, 1, 308 | through secondary causes: "For God is at work in you, both
548 1, 2, 1, 308 | Drawn from nothingness by God's power, wisdom and goodness,
549 1, 2, 1, 308 | end without the help of God's grace.173~Providence and

551 1, 2, 1, 309 | and the patient love of God who comes to meet man by
552 1, 2, 1, 310 | 310 But why did God not create a world so perfect
553 1, 2, 1, 310 | it? With infinite power God could always create something
554 1, 2, 1, 310 | infinite wisdom and goodness God freely willed to create
555 1, 2, 1, 310 | ultimate perfection. In God's plan this process of becoming
556 1, 2, 1, 311 | evil, entered the world. God is in no way, directly or
557 1, 2, 1, 311 | good from it:~For almighty God. . ., because he is supremely

820 1, 2, 2, 472 | human soul that the Son of God assumed is endowed with
821 1, 2, 2, 472 | This is why the Son of God could, when he became man, "
822 1, 2, 2, 472 | stature, and in favour with God and man",101 and would even
823 1, 2, 2, 473 | truly human knowledge of God's Son expressed the divine
824 1, 2, 2, 473 | The human nature of God's Son, not by itself but
