Why the Transcendentals Point Us to God

Deacon Mike Beauvais and Msgr. Leonard Pivonka explore how truth, goodness, beauty, and love reveal God—and reorder our desires, choices, and culture.

They unpack the transcendentals as real signposts that awaken the soul and call for conversion of mind and heart. Drawing on Scripture, the saints (especially Augustine), and lived experience, they distinguish fleeting pleasure from lasting joy, connect freedom with humility and the moral law, and explain why love always involves sacrifice. They address “your truth/my truth,” conscience and judgment, and the prophetic clarity of Humanae Vitae, contrasting secular confusion with the Church’s perennial wisdom in worship, art, and teaching. If you’re grappling with objective truth in a relativistic age, this conversation offers first principles and hopeful next steps for living them at home, work, and parish life.
