“May the beauty which you pass on to generations still to come be such that it will stir them to wonder! Faced with the sacredness of life and of the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude. People of today and tomorrow need this enthusiasm if they are to meet and master the crucial challenges which stand before us. Thanks to this enthusiasm, humanity, every time it loses its way, will be able to lift itself up and set out again on the right path. In this sense it has been said with profound insight that “beauty will save the world.” (St. Pope John Paul II, Letter to Artists, 1999).

Jo-Jo is a cradle Catholic from the south who has discovered a newfound zeal for the faith of his upbringing, allowing the Lord to reignite his heart at this mid-point in his journey. Chatting with Jo-Jo was incredibly inspiring & refreshing, allow his story to propel you to welcome Jesus into wherever you are in your life (career, age, state in life, etc...)
“All artists experience the unbridgeable gap which lies between the work of their hands, however successful it may be, and the dazzling perfection of the beauty glimpsed in the ardour of the creative moment: what they manage to express in their painting, their sculpting, their creating is no more than a glimmer of the splendour which flared for a moment before the eyes of their spirit.” (St. Pope John Paul II, Letter to Artists, 1999).
