The esthetic formula modus-species-ordo is presented als the result of the integration of the Pythagorean principles of rythm and contrast with the Christian novelty of interior beauty, considered al the seat of Divine Beauty and Life. The author proposes that beauty, life and interiority constitue the foundation of the Christian itinerary of the 21st century.
