Intoxication and Illumination:
Art oriented toward the infinite beauty of God

exploring transcendent beauty in liturgical art
with particular attention to the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius, especially
‘that superabundance of delights unfathomable to the mind’ and
‘the total and indescribable limitlessness of God’s well-being’

finding resonance in the text of Sacrosanctum Concilium122

‘arts … are oriented toward the infinite beauty of God’

‘artes … ad infinitam pulchritudinem divinam spectant’
