"Because the virtues first and foremost have the effect of perfecting the movement of intellect, of will, and of our appetites, it is in that regard that the virtues make us good.

This is the picture of a good human being: one who has the movements of intellect, will and appetite so regulated and ordered by the virtues, so that intellect is only inclined and attaches to truth, the will inclines to, desires and attaches only to the good, and the sense appetites incline us to the enjoyment of only those pleasures that lead, in our own circumstances, to the proper good." —Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P.

It appears we are losing the understanding that "to participate" can be a transitive verb.

Can a football game happen without those "participating in the team or in the game"? 

No parts (participants) then no game nor team. 

Do all the "participants in God" constitute God's parts, such that "no participants" then no God? No, we need the transitive verb "participate".

However, as a transitive verb, something other than "parts" or containment is meant.

"Participating God's being" means the application of the description of God to something other, so that it now has a predication, a name, like the definition of God, such as, "living", yet remains other.
