Kevin Andia, USMC; Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica FOCUS: The Church of Jesus Christ is ever ancient, ever new. LITURGY OF THE WORD: The angel brings Ezekiel to the heavenly temple. Saint Paul, today, reminds us that we are temples of the Holy Spirit. In the Gospel today, the money changers desecrate the temple and Jesus confronts them. He turns the tables on them, saying he will rebuild the “temple” in three days alluding to his death and resurrection. THIS WEEK AT ST.

THE DIOCESE OF TRENTON Pray for Vocations: Did you know that in our country, compared to 50 years ago, there are 20,000 fewer priests and 129,000 fewer religious sisters? At the same time, the Catholic population has continued to grow steadily. Many factors have contributed to the decline: growing secularism, a lengthened period of adolescence, attitudes about celibacy, etc. At this time, please pray that young people in today’s society will hear and respond to God’s call. And do your part to encourage them to consider the priesthood and religious life.
