Vatican Museum: Beauty that unites! 5
Beauty creates communion. It unites onlookers from a
distance, uniting past, present and future. Pope Francis has recalled this on a
number of occasions. The Church has always translated the universality of the
Good News into the language of art. From this premise, this dramatic moment in
history characterized by uncertainty and isolation, gives rise to this
initiative which is a partnership between the Vatican Museum and Vatican News:
Masterpieces from the Vatican Collection accompanied by comments from the words
of the Popes.

“Pain is absurd, one is tempted to shout.
Pain is useless.
Pain is unbearable.
Brothers and sisters,
a new revelation is opened
so that we might see in Christ
the transfiguration of suffering,
when it is valued as a sacrifice.
This sacrificial intentionality
that Christ bestowed on his Passion
made it a source of salvation,
the apex of love.”
