Vatican Museum: Beauty that
unites! 26
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.

Blessed Virgin,
Mother of God and our Mother,
who under the title “Madonna who helps”
never cease to remind your devoted children
of the prodigies by which you secure for us
your maternal protection, look mercifully upon
our necessities and on our misery, and come
once again to our aid. By your help, O Mary,
the poor wait for bread; the sick, health;
the unemployed, work; everyone awaits salvation
from new calamities and destruction.
But the good that this generation
begs of you above all is Your Son,
O Mary, whom the world would want
to banish from life, from the family,
from society, where everyone awaits
material aid by the strength and
designs of human beings.
Help us, O Mary, to jealously conserve
and rediscover this good,
without which every other gift is an illusion,
anguish and poison.
