This was beautiful
Glory to God for revealing his love, beauty, sovereignty through this series. ❤🌻
outstanding, beautiful, i will share this series with as many as i can.
BRAVO! Extraordinary! exceptional! Astonishing! Sublime!
The entire series is so beautiful and this one captures the heart. Did not know the background behind the stained glass windows, that was really intriguing. Thank you Bishop Barron, the Word on Fire Institute Team for this wonderful masterpiece and to Jonathan Roumie for the excellent voiceover. God bless you all.
This series has been brilliant and beautifully done.
Yep, if the sketchy line of David can somehow prove useful and land a spot on a gorgeous rose window, there must indeed be hope for the rest of us louts. :-) Beautiful video, folks, thanks.
Beauty is a window into the mind of God. Word on Fire always illuminates this in its programming. Thank you.
I was always bad at
Math, but now my eyes are opening! 2:53 2/19/23

A masterpiece here. Heartbreaking and ineffable.
Stunning… a beautiful work, and bookended by GKC! Thank you to Jonathan and the Word on Fire team.
all of these......stunning.....reminds me of the Catholicism series in its epic feel.
That is deep
Amazing work Word on Fire team! Absolutely brilliant!
Thanks Father Knowledge

This work is so beautiful ,
It took my breath away!
Fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderfull film series, Great in the contents and in the quality of filming, the explanation of the North window of Chartres is so enlightening. Mille merci
Absolutely beautiful. I had no idea the deeper geometry behind the rose window. Amazing artistic depiction of the Theodicy. Thank you Bishop Barron, WoF Team, and Jonathan Roumie for helping so many of us rediscover the hidden beauty of Catholicism hiding in plain sight.
WOW 😳
This was the BEST ONE yet……. Thanks
Thank you.
Logarithmic spiral intensifies. Really beautiful video, looking forward to more.
This is the first I’ve heard about the golden circle tie-in to the rose window. Really amazing !
Astonishing.🙏
So beautiful and insightful. Thank you
Thank you for a brilliant series!
Amen

I am very much looking foreward to this one, based on the title.
Beautiful
Thank you so much for this most eye opening and soul awakening series.
Viva Cristo Rey
Series? This production was fantastic! How many more are there?
Just beautiful! This may have been my favorite episode. Thank you to all involved with this production. It has been captivating and inspiring! ❤️🙏
Very enlightening. 🙏❤️
Amazing!
Beautiful, this was a great short meditation on one the Rosettes from Chartres - I'm very thankful for it, because I've never encountered such an approachable artistic and spiritual analysis of it. And I now feel very encouraged to redraw at least some parts of it!
Beautiful material.
If there were subtitles in Polish, I could use this material in catechesis or work during parish retreats.
But English language skills are becoming more and more common.... That's why I will "give" this material in my social media.
Not ideal but you should be able to auto translate to polish
I could tell that was Jonathan Roumey speaking. This was incredibly beautiful.
I will listen again, and look at more carefully at what this was showing. I’ve always been interested in the golden mean the Fibonacci numbers and imprint of God in all of nature. This was what you were talking about. It brought tears to my eyes. It’s out there it’s present it’s God he lives among us. He is us for love kindness and beauty. This was incredible. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
True
The Incarnation is not at odds with creation, the Creator God does not stand athwart to his creatures. But instead, all creation finds its fulfillment and destiny in union with God, made perfect in the Incarnation of God the Son.
Thank God! This masterpiece of art sounds on my ears close to the connection between math and cosmology, logic and history, God and world, male and female. God is the Origin or the Mind (Father), God is the Son (Truth) and God is the Holy Spirit (Love). The nature or essence or subject of God are revealed: Spirit, Truth and Love, as distinct from His philosophical attributes or predicates or properties or objects (omnipotence, immensity, justice, Mercy, beauty, eternity.). And the connection is performed by a ministry (minister derivates of minus, or minor, with a suffix -ter indicating the comparison between two, the humanity of Christ being de facto the bridge between God and the world.)
What an amazing series! I was trying to figure at the start how math would play in. So beautifully done.
I was also thinking, it's amazing Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus were not burned up with that fire right over all that straw and hay.
There was someone just off-screen with a fire extinguisher!
Mathematics is a language like English or French; and it beautifully fits reality because we humans hammered it into fitting. Or, is it amazing that the word "tree" so beautifully describes all trees? Is there magic there?
And "natural regularities" or "laws of nature" are so few that it's embarrassing to believe an all-powerful designer dictated them. If that were the case we should not have the word "chaos", because everything should be "divinely ordained".
I dare to add another comment, so great being this masterpiece!
Whatever formal element (historical, cognitive-mathematical, ontological, moral, political, aesthetic) is brought into play, the material criterion of the evangelical message must always be safeguarded, when it comes to the evangelical framework. Outside the formula of the "separate and inseparable" Trinitarian symbol, not only art, but every authentic cognitive experience, including scientific experience, is inconceivable.
One cannot take the Gospel and inscribe it in geometry, but it is geometry that must be inscribed in the Gospel. Chicken is not tasted with a spoon, but with a fork, the three prongs. Food dictates the law, as yoke (which derivates from: iug-ius-iustum) to its instrument.
We can see an approximate Big Picture in which to inscribe historical-geographical, somatic, cultural and theological Trinitarian analogies:
1. Greece (intelligence, prophecy, Reformation, faith, logos, density -subject-, monè);
2. Rome (will, royalty, ethos, works, goodness, Catholicism, facts, hand, middle term, pro-odos );
3. Jerusalem (body, priesthood, worship, beauty, Orthodoxy, feelings, hope, heart, pathos, predicate, epistrophe ).
Today is the solemnity of the Annunciation. On this day Venice remembers her Christmas and celebrates the Virgin Mary, her Patroness, with the title of "Nicopeia".
Mind and body always go together, like words and the meaning of a book. Materialists, seeing only the words, separate the two, as do Gnostic, who see only the meaning.
Rationalism «is the philosophy of the thing and of lifeless immobility; totally tied to the law of identity»: it is the philosophy of homoiusia (or simple resemblance). It is a reified, naturalistic, stoic, techno-morphic, objective philosophy, in which love is a psychological state.
Christian philosophy of patristic, Neoplatonic derivation is the philosophy of the person, "it is based on the possibility of overcoming the law of identity" (Florenskij). It is the philosophy of homousìa (or consubstantial identity), in which love is rather an ontological act referring to the person.
In the philosophy of Nicola Cusano (1401-1464) the synthesis between Greek rationality and the aspiration to transcendence characteristic of the Jewish-Christian tradition is fully realized. Objectivity is now no longer given by the observation of natural facts, but by the progressive discovery of the laws expressed in mathematical form that govern nature. Florenskij approaches Cusano: his thesis is that a potential infinite, a process of growth without limits can only be defined if not in relation to a certain context, that of the actual infinite: how could we think of an increasingly large number of another if not in a certain context, for example that of integers?
In a drawing that Einstein sent to Maurice Solovine on May 7, 1952, he shows that there is no direct path between the line of ordinary experience and that of abstract axioms. Even the consequences of general principles are detached from the world of life, floating in a dimension that indicates the intuitive and creative character of scientific work. The design traced by the late Einstein is intended to express the overall nature of science. Einstein underlines that 'the essential aspect here is the eternally problematic link between the world of ideas (the ideal) and what can be experienced', the real.
Theories, scientific culture, especially those of physics and cosmology, appear to be separated from any link with ontological truth, humanistic culture.
The former are to the latter what science is to wisdom (ciencia y sabiduría, connaître et savoir, kennen und wissen.)
The contrast between scientific rationalism and disembodied spiritualism leads to an irremediable rift between scientific thought and religious experience, making us lose sight of the fact that these two spheres "are both equally necessary to man, equally valid and holy" (Florenskij).
I would like to conclude with an analogy on the number four of the Rose Window of Chartres (we have just seen number two and three). There are four Empedoclean elements, the cardinal points, the temperaments, and also their personal archetypes: the intuitive-mystical (Augustin), the phlegmatic-systematic (Aquinas), the logical-normative (Anselm) and the dialectical-excluding (I'd like to quote an American archetype, Peter Kreeft).
Wow🪟🔭🌠 truly makes you think🌌🔥❤🔥❣😃✌
the only reason that impersonal mathimatics exists is because of Eve's personal decision.
Can we please be more careful to pronounce "Chartres" with a little more of a French accent?
Lovely, but why can't anybody get the pronunciation of genealogy correct? Archeology has an O in the middle, genealogy has an A. Lovely production, but the music could be a little quieter in my opinion.
@@ErinAbou it comes with mixed reviews. Some say a, especially the Brits, but not exclusively, and some say o. I'm going with my mother and with the Brits on this one. 😁
Absolutely beautiful and extremely well done. The narration by Johnathan Roumie is excellent. Thank you all so much for this beautiful series. May God bless each and everyone who made this possible.
