REGINA: Why is it important for the liturgy to be beautiful?

FATHER SMITH: One way of understanding God is to think of Him as being true, good, and beautiful.

So when we come to encounter God in the liturgy, the more it reflects His character of being beautiful, the more it's an authentic reflection of who He is.

Sometimes the Church speaks of the “Way of Beauty,” as a way of coming to know God.
