Vatican Museum: Beauty that
unites! 32
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.

Stay with
us, Bread of eternal life, broken and distributed to those at table:
give also to us the strength to show generous solidarity towards the multitudes
who are even today suffering and dying from poverty and hunger,
decimated by fatal epidemics or devastated by immense natural disasters.
By the power of your Resurrection, may they too become sharers in new life.
