Ordo Amoris: How the Use of Narration, Memoria, Art, and Primary Sources in Grammar School History Shapes Affections
Augustine understood that rightly ordering our affections means prioritizing our love for the true, good, and beautiful. By using narration, memoria, art, and primary sources in the classroom, students develop their love of truth through the discovery of facts, goodness by emulating those worth emulating, and beauty through the providential timeline of our Holy Father’s story.
