Paragraph 4. THE CREATOR
307
To human beings God even gives the power of freely sharing in his providence by
entrusting them with the responsibility of “subduing” the earth and
having dominion over it.168 God thus enables men to be intelligent and
free causes in order to complete the work of creation, to perfect its harmony
for their own good and that of their neighbours. Though often unconscious
collaborators with God’s will, they can also enter deliberately into the divine
plan by their actions, their prayers and their sufferings.169 They then
fully become “God’s fellow workers” and co-workers for his
kingdom.170
