The Trinitarian Dimension of Beauty in the Light of the Symbolic Theology of Brunon Forte
Tomasz Czura
Abstract
The subject of these considerations will be the problem of beauty in its Trinitarian perspective and in the context of the symbolic theology of Brunon Forte, which provides the appropriate tools to explore this issue. This article presents the beauty of the Father, who is the beginning without the beginning of the other divine persons, who eternally come from Him. The Father eternally begotten the Son and on the foundation on His relationship with Him, He creates the universe. In this way, by giving up being everything, God the Father becomes the beginning of harmony whose light reveals everlasting beauty. In turn, by the act of the Incarnation, the Son of God enables intra-Trinitarian harmony
to reveal in the space of creation, which is wounded by sin. In Christ, it becomes possible to complete the unification of sinful humanity with the merciful God. He is therefore the only way to unity, reflecting the unity of the Trinity. Holy Spirit also builds the unity of both the Trinity and ecclesial space. For he is the bond of love between the Father and the Son; Their communion open to others. Thanks to that, he may serve a similar function in the community of the Church as he serves in the Trinity - uniting people. All this allows one to consider beauty as a beautifully mysterious attribute of God, manifested in the light of unity, which dominates in the Trinitarian relations. By the act of
the Incarnation, this unity is shared by humanity.
