Welcome to Catholicaesthetic, a Telegram channel dedicated to exploring the timeless beauty and traditions of the Catholic faith. Our channel name, Catholicaesthetic, captures the essence of our mission - to appreciate and showcase the aesthetic qualities of Catholicism, from its stunning architecture to its rich history and sacred art.

At Catholicaesthetic, we believe that the beauty of the Catholic faith has the power to inspire, uplift, and connect us to something greater than ourselves. Through daily posts, we share breathtaking images of cathedrals, paintings, sculptures, and other works of art that reflect the beauty and grandeur of Catholic tradition.

Our channel is not just about aesthetics; it is also a place for learning and reflection. We regularly feature quotes and writings from renowned Catholic thinkers and saints, offering insights into the spiritual and philosophical aspects of the faith. Whether you are a lifelong Catholic or simply appreciate the beauty of religious art, Catholicaesthetic welcomes all who seek inspiration and contemplation.

Join us on this journey of discovery and appreciation of the timeless elegance of Catholicism. Let the beauty of the faith touch your soul and awaken a sense of wonder and reverence. Together, let us explore the depths of tradition and heritage that continue to inspire generations, just as G.K. Chesterton once said, "So strong is tradition that later generations will dream of what they have never seen."

Dies iræ, dies illa, Solvet sæclum in favilla: Teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando judex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus!


Day of wrath and doom impending! David's word with Sibyl's blending, Heaven and earth in ashes ending!

Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth.

β€œWith what majesty and splendor will that woman be clothed whom God’s Son Himself chose for His Mother! No man was ever able to choose his own mother, except the One, the God-Man. He will adorn His Mother with all the riches of nature and grace, so that she might be worthy of Him; in His almighty hands is all fullness. Whatever honor and praise we offer to Mary will redound to the glory of her Son.”

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

β€œIt was fitting that she, who had kept her virginity in childbirth, should keep her own body free from all corruption even after death. It was fitting that she, who had carried the Creator as a child at her breast, should dwell in the divine tabernacles…it was fitting that God’s Mother should possess what belongs to her Son and that she should be honored by every creature as the Mother and the Handmaid of God.”

germinans flosculum nos ad esse tecum in sæculum patiaris. Inter spinas quæ crescis lilium serva puras mentes fragilium tutelaris. Armatura fortis pugnantium furunt bella tende præsidium

Not all of us are expected to die a martyr’s death, but we are all called to the pursuit of Christian virtue. This demands strength of character though it may not match that of this innocent girl. Still, a constant, persistent and relentless effort is asked of us right up to the moment of our death. This may be conceived as a slow steady martyrdom which Christ urged upon us when he said: The kingdom of heaven is set upon and laid waste by violent forces. So let us all, with God’s grace, strive to reach the goal that the example of the virgin martyr, Saint Maria Goretti, sets before us. Through her prayers to the Redeemer may all of us, each in his own way, joyfully try to follow the inspiring example of Maria Goretti who now enjoys eternal happiness in heaven.

When the Blessed Sacrament is laid upon your tongueβ€” that moment and that act which the great angels of God look down upon with such surpassing awe–the Blood of Jesus is throbbing there in all its abounding life of glory. It sheathes in the sacramental mystery that exceeding radiance which is lighting all heaven at that moment with a magnificence of splendor which exceeds the glowing of a million suns. You do not feel the strong pulses of his immortal life. If you did, you could hardly live yourself. Sacred terror would undo your life. But in that adorable Host is the whole of the Precious Blood, the Blood of Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and Calvary, the Blood of the Passion, of the Resurrection, and of the Ascension, the Blood shed and reassumed.
