A ruined, worthless human life which has no beauty, no attractiveness
A piece of canvas is a trifling thing. You can buy it for a few pennies. You would scarcely think it worth picking up if you saw it lying in the street.
But an artist takes it and draws a few lines and figures on it, and then with his brush touches in certain colors — and the canvas is sold for hundreds of dollars!
In the same way, Christ takes up a ruined, worthless human life which has no beauty, no attractiveness — but is repulsive, blotched, and stained by sin.
Then the fingers of His love add touches of beauty, painting the Divine image upon it — and it becomes beautiful, precious, glorious, immortal!
