This article looks to a theologian of ancient times who "offers the Beautiful, along with the Good, as the cause of our soul’s movements: ‘Whatever there is, whatever comes to be, is there and has being on account of the Beautiful and the Good. All things look to it. All things are moved by it. All things are preserved by it. Every source exists for the sake of it, because of it, and in it… In short, every source, all preservation and ending, everything in fact, derives from the Beautiful and the Good.’”

thoughtful article…thanks.
Bishop Robert Barron quote
“Begin with the beautiful
Which leads you to the good
Which leads you to the truth.”
 
That made me think of Bishop Barron too! In the sense that, he teaches that Von Balthasar always leads with beauty. It also made me think of David Bentley Hart who recommends Pseudo-Dionysius for reading. Pretty awesome stuff. Thanks!
