About this episode

Sr. Rene Noel discusses the connection between beauty and God's truth and goodness, sharing personal experiences and insights.

Why does beauty move us to tears? And what does a starlit sky have to do with our salvation? Sr. Rene Noel sits down with Sr. Miriam to discuss beauty as the radiance of God's truth and goodness. Raised among the mountains and ponderosa pines of Flagstaff, Arizona, Sr. Rene Noel shares how a childhood immersed in the beauty of creation opened her heart to the Creator Himself. The conversation flows from art to music to holiness, and the episode closes with a special treat: the two Sisters singing together.
