Paragraph 5. HEAVEN AND EARTH

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

339
Each creature possesses its own particular goodness and perfection. For each
one of the works of the “six days” it is said: “and God saw that
it was good.” “By the very nature of creation, material being is
endowed with its own stability, truth and excellence, its own order and laws.”²⁰⁸
Each of the various creatures, willed in its own being, reflects in its own way
a ray of God’s infinite wisdom and goodness. Man must therefore respect the
particular goodness of every creature, to avoid any disordered use of things which
would be in contempt of the Creator and would bring disastrous consequences for
human beings and their environment.
