Bram Rawlings’s Reviews > Light of Faith: The Compendium of Theology (Aquinas) by St. Thomas Aquinas > Status Update

“If any object is lovable so far as it is beautiful and good, as Dionysus remarks… surely God, who is the very essence of beauty and goodness, cannot be gazed at without love. Therefore perfect vision is followed by perfect love.”

Also, I need to chew more on Aquinas’s argument that divine simplicity makes possible the union of our intellect with the divine essence apart from any mediation.
