Faith invites, Beauty excites, Love unites

Exposition is truly an action of the Holy Trinity made visible in time. This action continues in time what never ceases in eternity, namely the gaze of love, which raptures the heart of each member of the Trinity in the beauty of each other. The Trinity is One God united in Divine Beauty. Divine beauty causes the heart to become transfixed on it. As we humans engage in this activity of the Trinity we should be aware of the presence of the Father and Spirit who with us and in us are gazing upon the loveliness of Christ. Through the mutual indwelling that is always taking place among the members of the Trinity we must also be aware of the fact that not only are we pondering the beauty of Christ but the beauty of the Father and Spirit as well. Exposition in a real sense is an exchange of loving glances between God and humanity in an atmosphere of faith. The timelessness of beauty gives rise to the eternity we find in the Triune God. Through exposition of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar we experience a foretaste of this heavenly activity. Time loses all meaning before beauty hence the reason that the Beatific Vision occurs in the timelessness of the rapture we call eternity.
