THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A Healing Community
The readings today are taken from Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9,
12; Psalm 46; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; John 2:1322.
One of the marks of the Catholic Church is its
unity. We are one throughout the entire world. Union,
or communion, is the deepest vocation of the Church.
Our celebration of the dedication of a church in Rome is
really a celebration of who we are as a Church
throughout the world.
Today we are asked to look deeply into the heart
and soul of our Catholic Church --to rejoice in what we
see, and to rededicate ourselves to the Church’s primary
mission -- to bring all into oneness. One result of
oneness is healing. When people come together in love
whether in friendship or marriage,
family or community, or any other genuine gathering of
people, one of the effects is healing.
We are not meant to live our lives in splendid
isolation. We were created by God in such a way that
we seek the companionship of other people. And when
that fellowship with others is filled with love, then
healing follows. You and I have been given the gift of
the community we call Church. All too often we forget
what a tremendous and life-giving gift this really is.
We are the People of God, held together by our
belief in Jesus Christ, and we carry a pledge to love one
another as Jesus loved us. That is the truth to which we
must cling. Let us not focus on what has gone wrong
with the Church. That only puts us into the pit. We, of
course, need to be aware of those areas where we can
move forward, but to simply plant our minds and hearts
in the negative aspects of our community will surely just
drag us down. As God’s people, we need to rejoice in
the reality that we are loved by God and called by this
loving God into a loving community. That’s where we
need to place our energy and our focus.
NOVEMBER 11, 2014
“No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.”
John 15:13
Thank you for your service
REMEMBER
Those Who Have Gone Before Us
Catholics have long seen November as a time for
remembering the communion of saints and praying
for all the souls who have gone before us. A "Book
of Remembrance" will be on a podium by the votive
lights where you may write the names of our faithful
departed to be especially remembered in the
Liturgies during the month of November.
SPONSOR A FAMILY FOR
THANKSGIVING AND/OR
CHRISTMAS
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Food Pantry will be registering families for the Thanksgiving
and Christmas programs during the month of October. In the
past, we have been contacted by businesses that wish to
sponsor families for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. If your
business or your place of employment or your co-workers
wish to sponsor a family for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas,
please contact Ramiro García at [email protected], Arnold
Treviño at [email protected], or María Treviño at
[email protected]. Past sponsors have provided Bill
Miller gift cards, HEB gift cards, or Walmart gift cards for
Thanksgiving. For Christmas, past sponsors have either
purchased gifts or gift cards for the children in the family.
Gifts or gift cards can be dropped off at the parish office
Monday-Friday 9a.m.-4:30pm. Thank you in advance for
your sponsorship and the blessings that you will provide to
needy families in our parish boundaries.

FAITH SHARING
Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome
God with Us
INVITATION TO PRAY
Pause for a few moments of silence and enter more deeply into
the presence of God.
Song: "Gather Us In," Marty Haugen, GIA
Proclaim the Gospel of John 2:13- 22
Temple of God
As you listen to the gospel be attentive to a word, a phrase, a
question, an image, or a feeling that emerges. Reflect on this
quietly or share it aloud. (The other readings for this week
are: Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12; Psalm 46; and 1 Corinthians 3:911, 16-17.)
INVITATION TO REFLECT
This year we find that the Feast of
the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in
Rome takes precedence over the
celebration of Sunday in Ordinary Time.
The dedication of the Basilica as the first
Church of Christianity commemorates the
freedom that we experience to worship God
as members of the universal Christian Community.
In today’s gospel, we hear the account of how Jesus
cleanses the Temple area of animals intended for sacrifice and
overturned the moneychangers' tables.
These people
performed useful functions so that pilgrims could prepare for
worship, by this "sign," however, Jesus points to the changes
in worship of God in the final age (see Zechariah 14:20-21).
The Jewish leaders do not understand the meaning of Jesus'
words or the relationship between him and his Father. Nor do
they understand that the cleansing of the temple is necessary
for Jesus' proclamation of God's reign to be instilled in their
hearts.
Today’s readings help us to recognize that as
members of the universal church, we are temples of God. In
Corinthians, Paul tells us that as temples we are holy. The
Holy Spirit, the manifestation of the mutual love between
Father and Son moves through us, cleanses us, and flows into
our relationships with people and all of creation.
As long as we remain in God, we are refreshed and
we become the fountain of living water for others. Living
water, as our first reading from Ezekiel tells us, can provide
others with the opportunity to grow and prosper in God’s love.
Love calls for peace and is compassionate in reaching out to
those in need. Love helps us reverence and grow in
understanding of those who are different from us. It is the
action of the Spirit that allows us to exemplify Trinitarian love
and truly be the Church that we celebrate today.
INVITATION TO GROUP SHARING
1. How do I see myself as a member of the universal Church?
2. Where do I need to be refreshed?
November 9, 2014
3.
Spend time in prayer, praying for the conversion of those
whose hearts may be hardened by life’s experiences and
who may be closed to those who are able to help them.
CLOSING INVITATION TO PRAY
Give thanks to God (aloud or silently) for new insights, for
desires awakened, for directions clarified, for the gift of one
another’s openness and sensitivity.
Pray together the
following prayer:
Loving God, Holy Trinity, you have blessed us abundantly
with the living water of faith. For this gift we are grateful.
We pray that we will always be open to receive the love that
you pour out through us. We pray that our response as a
community – as church – will be one of loving service to our
neighbors, particularly to those in need. Amen.
Let each person express what he/she is especially appreciative
of from the experience of this small community. Allow a few
minutes beforehand.
I am grateful for ……..
Together we pray: It is a time of rejoicing when we come
together. It is a time of sadness when we leave. But we leave
not alone but carrying with us the gifts we have received from
this group. We carry with us the ever-strengthening presence
of the Holy Spirit who will guide us and support us as we live
out our beliefs. This we know because of the faith Jesus has
given us. This we know because we are baptized in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

If you are attending and supporting Prince of
Peace Parish on a regular basis, we ask that
you please use the envelopes that are sent to
you each month. This makes it easier for us
to credit your contribution to your account.
If you are not receiving these
envelopes or other mailings, and have not filled out a
registration form within the last two months, then you are not
formally registered in our parish. The fact that you’ve been
"coming for years" is not the same as being registered. In
order to be a registered parish family, you must fill out a
Parish Registration Form. This form can be picked up at
the parish office during regular office hours, Monday-Friday,
9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
We wish to thank everyone for their cooperation.
