"God, as Christ has revealed Him, does not merely remain closely
linked with the world as the Creator and the ultimate source of existence. He is also Father: He is linked to man, who
He called to existence in the visible world, by a bond still more intimate than
that of creation. It is love which not
only creates the good but also grants participation in the very life of God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. For he who
loves desires to give himself."
– John Paul II, “Dives In Misericordia”
