D. H. Lawrence said, “The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread.” Thankfully, in Christ, we have both at the same time.

“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35)

Beauty works on a soul level. And so too does the One from whom all beauty comes.

O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty,and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
