Eros is the primal desire of the human heart to satiate in beauty and to be happy.

It is enkindled in you by God to lead you back to Him, Beauty-Itself.

And the beauty of woman plays a vital role in this erotic ascent.

Yet today we tend to receive the female form either pornographically or puritanically — both of which miss the profound spiritual reality of femininity.

This is a tremendous mistake.

The Hebrew, Greek, and Christian traditions understood something we have largely forgotten: the beauty of woman is a living icon of God — an invitation to ascend.

You can rediscover it too.
