Like Elijah we are called to seek the presence of God, and be awestruck before His power and majesty and beauty

Title:
In deliberate steps (Christ explained), He had led me slowly towards a recognition of the reverence and beauty associated with the Traditional way of offering the Holy Sacrifice, and the customary way, for women, of veiling their hair in His Presence, during the Sacred Liturgy.

Title:
Our Lady appeared before me, in her dazzling Heavenly beauty. Her head was veiled, her clothing was brilliantly-white, her face was radiant, and she held a lamp in her left hand, appearing in the guise of the 'Wise Virgin' of the Gospel story. The Lord taught me about her power to help us. Truly, she is the 'Mother of God'.

Title:
Those men called to the Priesthood who surrender family life with reluctance, as a sacrifice wrung from them by circumstance, are never as happy as those who are overwhelmed by the knowledge of God's love for them and see beauty and freedom in this total self-giving to God and His Will in imitation of Christ.
Code: T-04168-CW
Title:
We should be able to defend the Faith. It is not superstition. We believe in things Divinely revealed, but our faith is not unreasonable. God's beauty, power and laws are discernable in nature - including our nature and conscience. There is historical evidence for Christ's life; and His friends were transformed and made brave by His Resurrection. We have two thousand years of evidence - despite sins and mistakes - that Catholicism elevates society, marriage, government, education, treatment of the sick, and children, and brings peace, and hope of Heaven.

Title:
I used to lie in the long warm grass, in summer, overwhelmed by the beauty around me, looking at the little insects that ran up and down a grass-stalk, or following the pattern of the clouds in the sky: aware of the 'hand' or presence of our Creator.

As well as ensuring reverent, beautiful worship of God, Christianity, properly practiced, makes society flower, with mutual help, care for the needy, beauty, joy, human advancement and freedom.
Code: T-06718-CW
Title:
Like a Flower: If I open my soul, Christ's own beauty does its own work of glory; His praise streams upwards, unimpeded by myself.
Code: T-00849-BW-X1
Title:
When we see God in Heaven we shall see the pure, infinite, perfect beauty from which this natural beauty is drawn
Code: T-01289-BW
Title:
The less we cling to our own desires, the more easily can Christ clothe us in His own virtues and beauty.

Title:
The Lord gave me a glimpse of our beautiful village, which He has allowed me to enjoy amidst many years of pain. Then He showed me an even greater beauty on high, 'above' the village. I saw Heaven's glory, and all the Saints who live in God, in joy.

Title:
The dark, cluttered cavern of the soul became a high-ceilinged chamber, beautiful as a pearl, gleaming.
Code: T-01053-BW
Title:
Just as a water-sprite, gazing at the surface of the river from below, has little idea of the magnificence of earthly life with its millions of life-forms and other marvels, or of the vastness and beauty of the planets and the stars in deep space, so we humans on earth have little comprehension of the marvellous, infinitely beautiful and admirable life of Heaven.

Title:
The beauty of Christ is dazzling, as He stands here silently, Really Present to His people in prayer.
Code: T-00850-BW
Title:
This is my present task, I learned: Like a child handing out pearls from a basket, unaware of their great worth, yet sharing their beauty.
Code: T-01368-BW
Title:
As a drug-user suffers when his supply of drugs is withdrawn, and his whole body cries out for its former source of pleasure and well-being, so a soul in Hell suffers - because of his own free choices - when, in Hell, he is suddenly without all those things that make it pleasurable and joyful to be a human being. He is without light, love, joy, peace, beauty, comfort or tenderness - all through his own fault, by his sinful choices.
Code: T-08394A-CW
Title:
Through the Sacraments we receive Divine Life; and so the Lord wants everyone - especially every Catholic - to remember that a Catholic church is God's House: a place of holiness. It should therefore also be a place of reverence and dignity, worthy worship of God, and beauty, as well as having artworks that tell out the truth about the Gospel message or symbols, and God's plan of salvation. It is not a place for frivolity and silliness.
Code: T-14843-CW
Title:
Heaven was represented as a huge flower, at the heart of which was a beautiful, perfumed, dazzling sanctuary. Hell is the opposite: like a collection of dead flowers close by the earth, all damp and decaying, all colour and beauty gone, replaced by a repulsive sight.
