The Christian mystery, celebrated in the Roman Catholic liturgy, is
a sensible mystery, and calls out for artistic expression. Living
Beauty explores the Christian mystery and points to the need for a
liturgical aesthetic as a means to encounter the divine mystery. A
liturgical aesthetic gives an account of Christian worship in terms
of a new set of categories that includes divine beauty, a theology
of sensibility, and the new notion of a unitive revelatory
experience. These categories help to reveal the aesthetic
dimensions of the Church's watershed document on the liturgy,
Sacrosanctum Concilium. The Church today stands in need of a new
conversation on the aesthetic dimension of the liturgy and the role
of the arts. Contrary to common opinion, the arts provide more than
an environment or mere extrinsic ornamentation for the liturgy;
they are intrinsic to the very nature of liturgy. They provide the
means of being sanctified in the encounter with divine beauty that
is the mystery of Christian worship. Artistic expression enables
the worshiping community to receive the divine mystery in beauty.
