The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
When Christ came, He banished the devil from our hearts, in order to build in them a temple for Himself.
Let us then do what we can with His help so that our evil deed will not deface that temple. –St. Caesarius of Aries
In today’s Gospel it is proclaimed: "What sign can you show us for doing this?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this
temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you
will raise it up in three days?" But he was speaking about the temple of his Body. Therefore, when he was raised from the dead,
his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.
Today the Church does not celebrate an Ordinary Sunday but rather the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica. What follows explains
what is was and is.
The cathedral was dedicated to the Savior on November 9, 318. It was embellished with beautiful decorations given by Constantine, including seven silver altars with seven gilded candlesticks inlaid with images of prophets; 111 chandeliers; and gold voile
for the apse vault. Constantine also built the baptistery on the northwestern corner of the church, which still survives in its original
form. From the fifth century there were seven oratories surrounding the basilica. These before long were incorporated in the
church. The devotion of visiting these oratories, which held its ground all through the medieval period, gave rise to the similar
devotion of the seven altars, still common in many churches of Rome and elsewhere. In the 10th century, Pope Sergius III (904911) added John the Baptist to the basilica's dedication, and in the 12th century, Pope Lucius II (1144- 1145) added John the Evangelist. A Benedictine monastery of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist adjoined the basilica and its members were
charged at one period with the duty of maintaining the services in the church. A great many donations from the popes and other
benefactors to the basilica are recorded in the Liber Pontificalis, and its splendour at an early period was such that it became
known as the "Basilica Aurea", or Golden Basilica. This splendour drew upon it the attack of the Vandals, who stripped it of all its
treasures. Pope Leo the Great restored it about 460, and it was again restored by Pope Hadrian, but in 896 it was almost totally
destroyed by an earthquake — damage so extensive that it was difficult to trace the lines of the old building, but the reconstruction
was of the same dimensions as the old. This second church lasted for 400 years and before suffering extensive damage from a series of fires, the worst of which was in 1308. It was rebuilt by Pope Clement V and Pope John XXII, only to be burnt down once
more in 1360 and again rebuilt by Pope Urban V. When the popes returned to Rome from their long absence at Avignon in 1377,
they found the city deserted and the churches almost in ruins. Great works were begun at the Lateran by Pope Martin V and his
successors. The palace, however, was never again used by them as a residence, the Vatican, which stands in a much drier and
healthier position, being chosen in its place. Pope Sixtus V replaced most of the remaining structure with work by his by his favorite architect Domenico Fontana, and a further renovation of the interior ensued, carried out by Francesco Borromini for Pope
Innocent X (1644-55). This is the definitive remodeling that created the present church. Finally, Pope Clement XII (1730 - 1740)
launched a competition for the design of a new facade, which was completed by Alessandro Galilei in 1735.

As we approach the Holidays
with thankfulness to God for
our many blessings, please
remember that there are neighbors of ours
who are struggling to feed and clothe
their families’, pay for their medicine,
rent and utility bills. Our Little Flower
SVDP Conference visits with these needy
families within our parish boundary and
assists in helping them when facing dire
circumstances. We have responded to
over 250 calls for help this past year
alone. You can help us fulfill our mission
of bearing witness to God’s compassionate and liberating love by continuing your
donations to our poor boxes at the doors
of the church, supporting the “Our Sunday Visitor” newspaper, and by praying
for those among us who are in need. The
Thanksgiving Day envelope is our primary source of income. Please consider
using it any Sunday if you do not attend
Mass at Little Flower on that Day, or by
sending it to the rectory.
CURSILLO WEEKEND
What if you could spend a weekend that
helps you experience your Catholic faith
more fully and motivates you to engage
in a spiritual life filled with joy, laughter
and enthusiasm? You can by participating
in a Cursillo Weekend. The St Louis
Archdiocese Cursillo will be holding a
women’s weekend on November 13-16
and a men’s weekend on December 4-7.
The weekends are held at the Manresa
Retreat Center on the campus of St. Louis
University. Treat yourself to a powerful
experience that will enhance your relationship with God and others. For further
