The Grace of Beauty

In a world beset by the ugliness of war, greed, and injustice, we all need to seek, find, and let our hearts rest in the experience of beauty. Not the beauty found in fashion magazines, but the true beauty, “ever ancient, ever new,” sought by St. Augustine and countless philosophers, artists, musicians, poets, and holy people throughout the centuries. This beautiful book explores the mystery, power, and grace of the beauty our souls seek, the kind of beauty that evokes a whispered “Wow!” or heartfelt, “Thank you, God!” Our experience of beauty, says Sr. Melannie, “has the power to realign our mind and heart toward the Source of all Beauty, our Beloved God.”Melannie Svoboda
