Paragraph 2. THE FATHER
236
The
Fathers of the Church distinguish between theology (theologia) and economy
(oikonomia). “Theology” refers to the mystery of God’s inmost life
within the Blessed Trinity and “economy” to all the works by which
God reveals himself and communicates his life. Through the oikonomia the
theologia is revealed to us; but conversely, the theologia illuminates the
whole oikonomia. God’s works reveal who he is in himself; the mystery of his
inmost being enlightens our understanding of all his works. So it is,
analogously, among human persons. A person discloses himself in his actions,
and the better we know a person, the better we understand his actions.
