Chapter 3 — Part I — Article I (Of God the Father)
Section 127. Q. What is divine providence? A. Divine providence is the constant energy of the almighty power, wisdom, and goodness of God, by which he preserves the being and faculties of his creatures, directs them to good ends, and assists all that is good; but the evil that springs by departure from good he either cuts off, or corrects it, and turns it to good results.
