"The tensions disturbing the world of today are in fact related to a more fundamental tension rooted in the human heart. In man himself many elements are in conflict with each other. On one side, he has experience of his many limitations as a creature. On the other, he knows that there is no limit to his aspirations, and that he is called to a higher kind of life." – Gaudium et Spes, 10 #stationchurch #stpetersbasilica #lent #catholic #pilgrimage #rome

This Lent I've been posting pictures of the beautiful art found in the station Churches. Today I offer this photo of the migrant camp on the steps of Dodici Apostoli. A reminder not only to encounter God in the beauty of art, but also in the poor and marginalized. #stationchurch #dodiciapostoli #lent #catholic #pilgrimage #poverty #rome
