WE ARE TEMPLES OF GOD: FEAST OF THE DEDICATION OF THE BASILICA OF ST JOHN LATERAN 2025

Send us Fan MailThis Sunday we celebrate the dedication of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, one of the most important Churches for us Catholics. Ultimately, this celebration is a celebration of the people of God- the Church,  the body of Christ. St Paul reminds us that this Church has Christ as foundation. We are part of the body- the Church. St Paul reminds us again that like the Church, we too are temples of God's, vessels of God's Spirit.Like His bride the Church, Christ loves us so much and He'll do anything to protect us. That is why in today's gospel we see him chasing money-changers, telling them, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.’Friends, our mission which is similar to that of the Church is beautifully illustrated in the image by Ezekiel in the 1st resding: to be a source of life-giving water, nourishment, and healing for the world around us.Today’s feast invites us to be aware of ourselves as temples of the Holy Spirit and to consider how well we are taking our mission to bring Christ to others, be a source of nourishment and healing for others Please join me to pray for Tommy who passed away years ago. Support the show
