Vatican Museums: everything is connected #2 "We exist only in relationships: with God the Creator, with our brothers and sisters as members of a common family, and with all of God’s creatures within our common home. We cannot live in harmony with creation if we are not at peace with the Creator who is the source and origin of all things."

“Mary, the Mother who cared for Jesus,
now cares with maternal affection and pain for this wounded world.
Just as her pierced heart mourned the death of Jesus,
so now she grieves for the sufferings of the crucified poor
and for the creatures of this world laid waste by human power.
Completely transfigured, she now lives with Jesus,
and all creatures sing of her fairness.
She is the Woman, ‘clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a crown of twelve stars’ (Rev 12:1).
Carried up into heaven, she is the Mother and Queen of all creation.
In her glorified body, together with the Risen Christ,
part of creation has reached the fullness of its beauty.
She treasures the entire life of Jesus in her heart (cf. Lk 2:19,51),
and now understands the meaning of all things.
Hence, we can ask her to enable us to look at this world with eyes of wisdom.”
(Pope Francis, Laudato si', 241)
Under the direction of Paolo Ondarza
