Summary/Abstract: The subject ofthese considerationswill be the problemof beauty initsTrinitarian perspective and in the context ofthe symbolic theology of Brunon Forte, which providesthe appropriate toolstoexplorethis issue. This article presents the beauty of the Father, who is the beginning without the beginning of the other divine persons, who eternally come from Him. The Father eternally begotten the Son and on the foundation on His relationship with Him, He creates the universe. In this way, by giving up being everything, God the Father becomes the beginning of harmony whose light reveals everlasting beauty. In turn, by the act of the Incarnation, the Son of God enables intra-Trinitarian harmony to reveal in the space of creation, which is wounded by sin. In Christ,it becomes possible to completethe unification ofsinful humanitywith the mercifulGod.Heis thereforethe only way tounity, reflecting theunityof the Trinity. Holy Spirit also builds the unity of both the Trinity and ecclesial space. For he is the bond of love between the Father and the Son; Their communion open to others. Thanks to that, he may serve a similar function in the community of the Church as he serves in the Trinity - uniting people. All this allows one to consider beauty as a beautifully mysterious attribute of God, manifested in the light of unity, which dominates in the Trinitarian relations. By the act of the Incarnation, this unity is shared by humanity.
