663. 'Saying, Great and marvellous are Thy works, O Lord God Almighty' signifies that all the things of the world, of heaven and of the Church have been created and done by the Lord out of Divine Love by means of His Divine Wisdom. By the Lord's 'works' are signified all the things that have been created and done by Him, these being in general all the things of the world, all those of heaven, and all those of the Church, which cannot possibly be enumerated specifically. They are termed 'great and marvellous' because 'great' is said of love and 'marvellous' of wisdom, as above (n. 656); and also in the Word the Lord is termed 'Lord' by virtue of the Divine Good of Divine Love and 'God' by virtue of the Divine Truth of Divine Wisdom. That the Lord is called 'Almighty' because He Is, Lives, and is all powerful out of His Very Self, and also rules all things out of His Very Self, may be seen above (n. 31). Consequently by 'great and marvellous are Thy works, O Lord God Almighty' in the universal sense is signified that all the things of the world, of heaven and of the Church have been created and done by the Lord out of Divine Love by means of His Divine Wisdom.
