(CG 2/7). That there is in God Active Power
As passive power, or passivity, follows upon being in potentiality, so active power follows upon being in actuality; for everything acts by being in actuality, and is acted upon by being in potentiality. But it belongs to God to be in actuality; and therefore there is suitably ascribed to Him active power, but not passive power.
Hence it is said: You are powerful, O Lord (Ps. lxxxviii, 9); and Your power and your justice, O God, are even to the highest heaven, in the wonders that you have made (Ps. lxx, 18, 19).
