Mary confesses that the foremost work God did for her was that He regarded her, which is indeed the greatest of His works, on which the rest depend and from which they all derive. For where it comes to pass that God turns His face toward one to regard him, there is nothing but grace and salvation, and all gifts and works must follow.—Martin Luther, Magnificat AE 21:321.
All we can know about the act of creation must be derived from what we can gather about the relation of the creatures to their Creator.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 229.
