The goodness of a thing created is the perfection of its fitness for the use which it serves. Now that use is either particular or universal.

The good pleasure of God is an act of the divine will freely and effectively determining all things.

The will of God is single and totally one in Him.

Active creation is conceived as a transitive action in which there is always presupposed an object about which the agent is concerned; it is virtually but not formally transitive because it makes, not presupposes, an object.

Hence the end of the world should be awaited with all longing by all believers.

In contentment and joy are found the height and perfection of all love towards our neighbor.

Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.
