Reflections for the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
“And there fruit will be good to eat and their leaves medicinal” “God wants spiritual fruits not
religious nuts” is one of those car stickers which gets a lot of people hot under the collar. However
one may read into this, it cannot be denied that Jesus says of his true followers that, “by their fruits
you will know them”. On this Feast Day, we are encouraged to dive into the river of the Spirit,
where fruit grows all along the banks. Whilst it’s a river which we cannot cross, it is a river which
we can be safely immersed in. It’s a river which flows from the side of Jesus and into the
sacramental life of our holy Church. It’s a river which allows us to bear fruit according to our calling.
