| Riepilogo: | In his commentary on the Letter to the Hebrews (cap. IV), St. Thomas considers the rest of God after the work of creation (see Gen 2:2), treating it not as a deistic withdrawal of the Creator, but a productive quiescence. According to the Biblical Thomism, God’s action is not something abstract for us, but constitutes the principle - exemplar - of Christian action. Therefore this paper will firstly present multiple senses of the rest (triplex requies) of created beings, then the correct understanding of God’s action during creatio continua, in order to reflect on what the Christian’s "restful" life consists in. St. Paul urged the disciples of Christ "to be restful" (ut quieti sitis, cf. 1 Thess 4:11). En su comentario a la Carta a los Hebreos (cap. IV), Santo Tomás considera el reposo de Dios tras la obra de la creación (véase Gn 2,2), tratándolo no como un repliegue deísta del Creador, sino como una quiescencia productiva. Según el tomismo bíblico, la acción de Dios no es algo abstracto para nosotros, sino que constituye el principio -ejemplar- de la acción cristiana. Por ello, en este trabajo se presentarán, en primer lugar, los múltiples sentidos del reposo (triplex req-uies) de los seres creados, y luego la correcta comprensión de la acción de Dios durante la creatio continua, para reflexionar sobre en qué consiste la vida "reposada" del cristiano. San Pablo exhortó a los discípulos de Cristo a "estar tranquilos" (ut qui-eti sitis, cf. 1 Tes 4,11). |
