God’s plan for the government of all creation

Now among all others, the rational creature is subject to Divine providence in the most excellent way, in so far as it partakes of a share of providence, by being provident both for itself and for others. Wherefore it has a share of the Eternal Reason, whereby it has a natural inclination to its proper act and end: and this participation of the eternal law in the rational creature is called the natural law. ( ST IaIIae 91, 2 )

[T]he light of natural reason, whereby we discern what is good and what is evil, which is the function of the natural law, is nothing else than an imprint on us of the Divine light. ( ST IaIIae 91, 2 )

Main ideas: A person is a good person to the extent that she fulfills her true nature. Right actions are conducive to fulfilling one’s nature; wrong actions are unfavorable to fulfilling one’s nature.
