Paragraph 4. THE CREATOR

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

308
The truth that God is at work in all the actions of his creatures is
inseparable from faith in God the Creator. God is the first cause who operates
in and through secondary causes: “For God is at work in you, both to will
and to work for his good pleasure.”¹⁷¹ Far from diminishing the
creature’s dignity, this truth enhances it. Drawn from nothingness by God’s
power, wisdom and goodness, it can do nothing if it is cut off from its origin,
for “without a Creator the creature vanishes.”¹⁷² Still less
can a creature attain its ultimate end without the help of God’s grace.¹⁷³
