The theme song of the musical Beauty and the Beast reminds us that “it’s a tale as old as time." It’s a tale of beauty becoming beastly, sinlessness becoming sin-filled, and the love of a beautiful Belle transforming the lost beast. In the same way, the Gospel points us to a beautiful Savior who comes to transform darkness to light, death to life, sin-filled beasts to beautiful saints. Could it really be true, or is this just a fairy tale?
