Vatican Museum: Beauty that
Unites! 47
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.

Death exerts such a
disastrous dominion
that it seems absurd to suppose to suppose its defeat.
And yet thus it is in Jesus: dead, buried and then,
on the dawn of the third day, risen and glorious.
Thus it shall be with us, if we are in Him, with the faith,
in grace, when the honesty of our conduct,
grafted onto His immortal life our moral one.
The enemy, the great enemy will be conquered in the end.

et Orbi Message, 14 April 1968)
