What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
For by these things judgeth He the people, and giveth food to many mortals. By these words of preachers, that is drops of the clouds, by these lightnings of miracles, God doubtless judges the peoples; because He invites their terrified hearts to repentance. For when they hear heavenly things, when they attend to marvellous works, they soon return into their own hearts, and afflicting themselves for their former wickednesses, dread eternal torments. …
Thomas Aquinas
To will means properly to act for an end, and so he shows the end of these works, "Through these he judges the peoples," because men are punished by them, "and he gives food to many mortal men," in the sense that the rains are useful to the fertility of the land which produces food for men.
