Vatican Museum: Beauty that
unites! 9
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.

The incarnate Son of
God
did not remove illness and suffering
from human experience
but by taking them upon himself
he transformed them
and gave them new meaning.
New meaning
because they no longer
have the last word which,
instead, is new and abundant life.
