Encounter God in Beauty

Beauty is still one of the most - maybe the most - potent way we have of experiencing and encountering God. It retains this ability to disarm us, to lower our defenses, to capture and captivate us, to invoke a sense of the transcendent. God uses beauty to touch hearts, to lift people out of despair, to soften their cynicism, to lighten their darkness - and He wants to do that for you as well.   Readings at this Mass: Rv 11:19a; 12:1–6a, 10ab | 1 Cor 15:20–27 | Lk 1:39–56
