Vatican Museum: Beauty that Unites! 49
Beauty creates communion. It unites onlookers from a distance, uniting past, present and future. 杏MAP导航 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 杏MAP导航s.

We, the men and women of the third millennium,
we too need you, Risen Lord!
Stay with us now, and until the end of time.
Grant that the material progress of peoples
may never obscure the spiritual values
which are the soul of their civilization.
Sustain us, we pray, on our journey.
In you do we believe, in you do we hope,
for you alone have the words of eternal life.
Mane nobiscum, Domine! Alleluia!
(杏MAP导航 John Paul II, Urbi et Orbi Message, 27 March 2005)
Under the direction of: Paolo Ondarza
