As humanity comes to participate more deeply in this Trinitarian knowing and loving of all things, it becomes more able to see the divine purpose in all things: a desire to delight the other, to give joy, and to share together in the happiness of mutual life. Because all creature are in fact expressions of this divine intent, they are only brought to their consummate state as they are themselves appreciated and offered by thanksgiving to the giver, echoing within the created order the Trinitarian giving and receiving.
