Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Ez 47:1-2, 8-9,12; 1 Cor. 3:9-11,16-17, John 2:13-22 Dying and Rising Jesus told the apostles that he would destroy the temple and rise again in three days. On the road to Emmaus, Jesus’ resurrected body was different, yet still a human body. Once they recognized Him in His transformed state, they thought back to the idea of the destruction of the temple. The experience confirmed and deepened their faith. With our bodies and souls we share in the love of the Trinity. At the resurrection of the dead we will be raised body and soul. The body and soul together for the glory of God is the person fully alive. Reflection: As disciples, how are we serving and honoring our God? How are we bringing others to God’s love? Vocation Prayer: Father, may our hearts be open to hear your call in our lives. We pray especially for Rev. Mark Smith, Joshua Duncan-Seminarian, Deacon Stan Buczko, & Sister Mary of the Angels Kleman OCD. Prayer for Our Families: We pray for our parish families, especially the family of Jeremy & Lori.
