Reflection Starter from Sacrosanctum Concilium

"Very rightly the fine arts are considered to rank among the noblest activities of man's genius, and this applies especially to religious art and to its highest achievement, which is sacred art. These arts, by their very nature, are oriented toward the infinite beauty of God which they attempt in some way to portray by the work of human hands; they achieve their purpose of redounding to God's praise and glory in proportion as they are directed the more exclusively to the single aim of turning men’s minds devoutly toward God." - Sacrosanctum Concilium (Constitution on the Liturgy, Second Vatican Council), Chapter VII, #122
