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".
