An Assault of Beauty Can Be an Encounter with Christ

The Tightrope: Reflections for Busy Catholics

Colin talks about a time he had an encounter with Christ while listening to beautiful music that brought him to tears.

As he was irresistibly drawn in, he realized that art, music, culture, and beauty can be opportunities for evangelization.

Colin calls this invitation to have an encounter with Christ through beauty an “assault of beauty”. It’s not an assault that takes away from our free will, but one that draws us in.

This week, find a way to extend this invitation to someone else. Listen to some beautiful music with your family or ask a friend to go visit a beautiful church.
