There is a solidarity among all of God’s creatures because all are oriented to give glory to God. We learn that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day, sanctifying it and blessing it.

God created all of the visible world in richness, diversity, and order, and everything owes its existence to God. Because all of creation comes from God, every creature has its own goodness and perfection.

We learn that angels have been present throughout the history of salvation, and the life of Christ is surrounded by the adoration and service of angels.

We learn that the earth is filled with men and many things we can see, but our faith tells us that there are many things on earth that we cannot see, including the presence of God and angels.

In this “In Brief” section of the Catechism, we review that only God has the power to create, that is, to call into existence something from nothing.
