Pope Francis said Thursday he
was praying for artists because "they allow us to understand
what beauty is".
The pope said he had received a letter from a group of
artists who had thanked him for the prayers he had already
directed at them.
"I would like the Lord to bless them because artists let us
understand what beauty is. Without beauty you can't understand
the Gospel. Let us pray once more for artists," Francis said at
Mass at Casa Santa Marta, the Vatican hostel he lives in.
