True Beauty

...

No, he, no, he was in True Beauty-

Yeah

...

Mm-hmm.

Um, and you know, some friends in there that I enjoyed is, uh, Park Ju-na, who I feel like in other shows- Mm-hmm ... like, she's in True Beauty.

She's the second lead in True Beauty.

Um, and also she was in Hotel Del Luna.

Um, she is so different in this show.

For it is the purity of the soul that, in Mary, as in us, by the grace of God, illuminates and transfigures the whole person, leading us to the glory of heaven.

The glorification of Mary, body and soul, teaches us that our true beauty does not lie in hiding the signs of aging, but in revealing the signs of love that never end, and are even impressed on our flesh.

With this in mind, we are invited to re-examine many of the aesthetic standards, predominantly hedonistic and consumerist in nature, that the world imposes on us.

These standards risk trapping us in burdensome expectations, causing us to waste precious energy on what does not really matter and does not last forever.

In everyday life, we encounter people whose faces are marked by the years and by suffering, yet who are capable of radiating serenity, kindness, and peace around them.

just as we may observe others who are perhaps outwardly attractive, but hard and cold at heart.

It is easy to see where true beauty lies, and where, on the other hand, there is still a need for conversion, forgiveness, and healing.

If we truly wish to discover and nurture the divine beauty that surrounds us, and for which we were made, and to share it with those around us, We must learn to see it in the wrinkles of an elderly person, as in the tender face of a child as well, in the maturity of an adult, as in the liveliness of a young person as well, in work clothes and tools, as well as in festive decorations.
