Grace and the Call to Freedom in the Gift of Self
Call
Regarding the relationship between God and man, St. Thomas Aquinas pointed out that the creature’s grateful response to the received gifts is included in a reality of divine benevolence and love.
Since creation, God has called man to life and commitment in the world, by all means and remedies, to the point of Redemption, so that he participates in the glory of the fulfillment of God’s project with the new creation.
