A friend suggested we look at the the topic of the way of beauty in Franciscan Theology. 

We start by examining Francis of Assisi's Canticle of Brother Sun, and how it orients our hearts to the beauty of God's creation in the elements, the creatures of the world, and humanity. 

We then build on this theme by using St. Bonaventure's Triple Way and notion of vestiges that lift up our heart to God. 

We round out our conversation by examining the theology of Blessed John Duns Scotus and his notion of Haecceity, and how moral actions can be ordered to beauty.

Thanks Nancy!
