TWO PRIESTS
WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ATTEND VISITORS TO THE VATICAN MUSEUMS
Vatican City, 26
July 2012 (VIS) - Beginning in the month of August, two priests will
be assigned to attend to visitors to the Vatican Museums. They will
be available to dialogue with the visitors and to offer them, should
they wish, spiritual advice and assistance.
As Bishop Giuseppe
Sciacca, secretary general of the Governorate of Vatican City State,
explains in an article in the "Osservatore Romano"
newspaper, "there is nothing institutional or pretentious about
the initiative. The priests will simply be on hand with a table and
two chairs at two strategic points on the normal itinerary visitors
follow, and anyone who wishes may approach them to exchange a few
words, or to reflect together".
"The Vatican
Museums", Bishop Sciacca goes on, "are an 'unicum' among
the world's great cultural institutions. They are a precious casket
in which, thanks to their wisdom and love of 'beauty', the Roman
Pontiffs have gathered together what are perhaps the most exalted
works that human genius has produced over the course of the
centuries. ... And the Museums are not afraid to show that they, in
fact, represent a way through which the good news of God-made-man can
be announced to the world". The Museums "welcome everyone,
whatever their beliefs or origins, while reminding each of them -
through a statue, a piece of gold, a painting or a fresco - of the
goal for which we were created".
