“Yet “to love” can also mean “to will goodness to something.” In this sense it can be fittingly ascribed to God since he freely does this insofar as he brings about the existence of anything.”

“The Summa Theologiae is not, as is sometimes supposed, a potpourri of theology and philosophy; it is wholly a Summa of Theology concerned with the Sacra Doctrina, the Holy Teaching of salvation given by God’s revelation.”
