LAW
1. ETERNAL LAW is defined by St. Augustine as the Divine Reason and
Will commanding that the natural order of things be preserved and
forbidding that it be disturbed.
The Eternal Law directs all things in the universe making them tend toward
an end which is God Himself. This tendency is inscribed within their nature so
that in their movements and operations, they follow the directives of the Eternal
Law.
The Eternal Law directs everything by necessarily that is everything
necessarily follows the direction of said Law via tendency of its nature except
man in his rationality.
