This setting for human action is changed when the world is seen as created and God is appreciated as creator. The steady anonymity of the world, in and against which action occurs, is now seen as the effect of a choice, and the unforced generosity behind that choice is seen as what most truly exists. Human action, correspondingly, is now obligated in a new way: it must not only bring itself forward in virtue in order to become itself; it must also respond to the generosity of creation and to the still greater generosity of the incarnation and redemption. This can be a disorienting demand.
