Vatican Museum: Beauty that
unites! 8
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.

Lord, you are a
scandal.
You are a scandal:
the scandal of the Cross.
A Cross which is humility,
meekness;
a Cross that speaks to us
of God’s closeness.
We bless this image
of the Cross
that will travel round the country.

at the conclusion of the meeting with young people from Argentina gathered in
the Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, 25 July 2013)
