Vatican Museum: Beauty that
Unites 38
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.

God's mercy is an
inexhaustible source
that Christ brought into the world
precisely with the desire,
the yearning to seek us,
to pursue us and to repeat to us:
I have loved you; I have come for you,
so that you might understand who you are
and how paralyzed and miserable you are.
But have faith, child, your misery is forgiven.
Therefore, today let us go to Jesus,
offering the Divine Sacrifice:
like the paralytic, we too will present ourselves before Him.
With all humility let us ask Him,
that trust in His omnipotence and goodness
might be renewed in our soul. Let everyone beg:
Lord, save me:
You alone have words of eternal life.
