Beauty & Chastity
Ardere
Is chastity important? Absolutely. Like every virtue, chastity makes you stronger and more able to enjoy life. In this video, I begin with an idea from Plato's Phaedrus to explain both the dangers of turning beauty into an idol and the delight of pursuing beauty in union with every other good.

About Podcast
There is only one true and lasting energy -- the love of God. Drawing upon the Cistercian tradition, the Ardere Podcast delivers Catholic content designed to enflame the heart with ardent love for God and neighbor. It is inspired by Bl. John Brenner, a Hungarian Cistercian for whom the motto "to be aflame and to enlighten" (ardere et lucere) was a guiding principle until his martyrdom under communism in 1957. His icon is the image for this podcast.
