Reclaiming Beauty - The Liturgy of Beauty

It comes quite natural to us that we might desire beauty. So much so that it shapes and forms us like a liturgy of life. Right from the beginning in the creative works of God is beauty and the innate desire to make all things beautiful. No artists ever set out to do otherwise than that which God himself has done. Beauty is “in” the eye of the beholder. It is part of us, shaping and forming, creating and making. Beauty is instinctual because we are made in the image of God.

If you were to type the word beauty into an image search on google literally all you would find is pictures of people disguising their natural selves. Surely, this cannot be what beauty is or where it is found but perhaps this is what we have allowed ourselves to think. It’s amazing how such a superficial understanding of beauty can have such a powerful hold on society. The truth of beauty however is far from superficial for it dispels the falsity of ugliness, materialism and judgement that pervades us. It sets us free to repentance. For beauty is the primary standard for entering into the glory of God and the revelation that all is sacred.

“Community is a laboratory of love” (Richard Beck) it is the church living out the Good News of Jesus in the world that we must press into. In the world we are to tempted to disconnect from society. We can love everyone from afar or hate everyone from afar but in community you have to reconcile, look in the mirror of your brother and sister…community by way of love edges out the darkness that isolation seeks to establish. In this way community become the epicenter for fighting the good fight because it exposes in us all the things that we must set free.
