Peter Kreeft Quote

Light, life, and love parallel the three absolute values of truth, goodness, and beauty, the supreme values of the three parts of the soul; intellect, will, and emotions. God is all truth, goodness, and beauty; everything that is true, good, or beautiful is a reflection of God, a participation in God, a shadow of God. Therefore every choice for or against any truth, any goodness or any beauty is a choice for or against God—whether He is known or unknown, named or anonymous. A choice to change a diaper, praise a sunset, admit a mistake, or give up a subway seat is a choice for God: Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these My brothers, ye did it unto Me.15
