Liturgy is beauty because it dares to make the least action beautiful, whether carrying a chalice, going up to read, purifying a ciborium, standing up, or giving the sign of peace. In making such an action beautiful, it teaches how to ennoble corresponding gestures in ordinary life. Ordinary life receives a vocation to such beauty, if we come to love both life and beauty itself!
