Theme 51: Superbly Creative Creator

The Creation has its own goodness and perfection, but it did not spring forth complete from the hands of the Creator. The universe was created "in a state of journeying" (in statu viae) toward an ultimate perfection yet to be attained, to which God has destined it. We call "Divine Providence" the dispositions by which God guides HIS creation toward this perfection. God is the sovereign master of HIS plan, but to carry it out HE also includes HIS creatures' co-operation. This is not a sign of weakness, but rather a token of almighty God's greatness and goodness.  The truth that God is at work in all the actions of HIS creatures is inseparable from faith in God the Creator. A creature can not attain its ultimate end without the help of the Creator's grace.

Prayer :

Jesus, the Son of God, you ask for 'child-like abandonment' to the Providence of our Heavenly Father who takes care of HIS children's smallest needs. Help me seek first the Divine Kingdom and Righteousness, and the rest shall be added. I believe that my God grants HIS creatures not only their existence, but also the dignity of acting on their own. Thank you my Sustainer.
