"God, who creates and conserves all things by his Word, provides men with constant evidence of himself in created realities. and furthermore, wishing to open up the way to heavenly salvation - he manifested himself to our first parents from the very beginning."⁶ DV 3; cf. Jn 1:3; Rom 1:19-20 He invited them to intimate communion with himself and clothed them with resplendent grace and justice.
