Vatican Museum: Beauty that
unites! 12
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 answer to the
question
of the meaning of suffering
has been ‘given by God
to man in the Cross of Jesus Christ’.
Through his suffering on the Cross,
Christ has prevailed over evil
and enables us to overcome it.
Our sufferings become meaningful
and precious when united with his.
As God and man,
Christ has taken upon himself
the sufferings of humanity,
and in him human suffering
itself takes on a redemptive meaning.
