I’m a missionary for an apostolate leading pilgrimages, and this is at the core of what we try to impart to the people we take on the road. Beauty and wonder as privileged pathways to God, with the aim to help people reconstruct a truly sacramental worldview. It’s powerful, and often ignored. Beauty was given as a ladder to the divine
