Only God's perfectly simple Goodness can "glide" as a loveable dove descends "into the deepest interiority of the soul... more interior to the soul than the soul is to itself." (St. Bonaventure, I S., d. 1, a. 3, q. 2, resp.) Thus, only God perfectly, intimately, satisfies man.

It may be objected that because the soul is finite, it's capacity to recieve God is finite, so it's ultimate end is created. Sts. Bonaventure and Anselm respond: it receives the infinite in a finite manner, but is also totally conquered and absorbed into Divine Love.

To discover the Father of All is to enter the ineffable peculiarity [ἰδιώτης] of one's own self. Whereas being is known relationally (Elements of Theology, Prop. 66), divinity is known only peculiarly, as our notions are inadequate of it. To know the God, is to seek His Person.

My reflexive response in conversation to "why are you Catholic?" is often "because the Catholic faith is true, good and beautiful."

But perhaps this equally implies that the alternative to the Catholic faith is varying grades of a repulsive, evil delusion.

Rev 1:12-16 gives us this description:

Long robe, golden sash, snow white hair, blazing eyes, burnished bronze [white, χαλκολίβανος] feet, voice roaring like waters, seven stars in His right hand, a sharp sword out/uttered [ἐκπορεύω] from His mouth, face shining like the sun.

AIR and Kanon were effectively less nakige than Clannad and Planetarian, if we are comparing KEY titles.

But dawg what da heck is Mahouyo doing here. If we're gonna put TM stuff here the Fate route clears Mahouyo on this front. Tsukihime og and remake clear Mahouyo.

By way of being consubstantial, the powers of the soul such are at once really distinct and not mere accidents or modes. The memory, intellect, and will are the soul. The three powers are not the same as each other, and yet they oscillate through each other.

[𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘴 @_bonaventurian]

As the memory of fire does not warm the body, so faith without love does not bring about the illumination of wisdom in the soul. For love to blossom the soul must be pruned in its awry affection by detachment. Becoming bare and simple love, the soul cannot but infused wih God.

[𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘴 @_bonaventurian]

At the end of time, God will "melt down the elements" of the present world (cf. 2 Pt 3:12-18) and resolves the corruptible into the incorruptible, the appearing into the fontality of the intelligible. Likewise in sanctifying grace are we melted down and reforged. A new creation.

@StYvesWannabe We need a Great Purge tbh.

St. Maximus advises well not listen to the slanderer or loose-lipped gossiper. And to extinguish the inclination to speaking or listening "to anything against your neighbor." Lest you "fall away from divine love and be found excluded from eternal life." (Cap. De Ch. I.58)

[Catalina 🇻🇦 @kateofleninka]

The distinction of being [οὐσία] is a finite difference, such that a thing is said to have a class of set-properties, form, or essence.

Erstwhile, the distinction of existence [ὕπαρξις] is an infinite difference, such that the selfhood of one thing is incommunicable to others.

[𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘴 @_bonaventurian]

Being is an agathophania. That is to say, to be is to be an ordered and intelligible unfolding of the Good. And as such, an unfolding of the delightful, attractive, that is, beautiful. The Good itself is as the life principle, while being's beauty is as the flowering of a plant.

[𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘴 @_bonaventurian]

Always rejoice in God. The highest, most apophatic and ecstatic mystical graces always seem to come with great joy. St. Francis of Assisi and John of the Cross were incredibly joyful and kind souls. Beyond being, in the abyssus of the Godhead, is a jubilant and delightful love!

@ChudThomist Ragebait sins against charity under the species of peace (ST. II-II, q. 29), against justice under affability (q. 116), as deliberate provocation of anger for self-serving ends. Vainglory, amusement and dopamine, or worse in mere engagement farming. Careful.

Balthasar was convinced that as St. Maximus stands to Eastern Catholicism as St. Augustine in the west, is the most mature patristic synthesis critical in overcoming Origenism/Monothelitism and the most spiritual fruitful, that he would and should be the next Doctor of the Church

"Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (Jn 1:17), our "wisdom," "righteousness, sanctification, and redemption" (1 Cor. 1:30). Grace, truth, divine wisdom, justification, redemption was born from Mary. Her active cooperation (Luke 1:38) entails she is our Co-Redeemer.
