After some considerations about the evangelizing capacity of art, this study presents what the Church's doctrine says about the subject. And it's no small thing! They are the first and second moment of the article. In a third moment, it reflects on the artistic heritage, from the categories of mediation, fruition and encounter, to conclude that “conscious of its symbolic dimension, which brings us back, in its significance, beyond the really visible, through an intimate experience of the artistic heritage of the Church generates a possibility of intimate dialogue, where the true encounter with the transcendent is established: with the love of the Father revealed in the face of the Son - the end of all evangelization. Allowing each  person to say, today, as St. Augustine, in his intimate: ‘Afternoon I loved you, O Beauty so old and so new. ... Behold, they are habitable within me, and I outwardly seek Thee!’”.
