THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
NOVEMBER 9, 2014
The waters flowing from the temple,
the dwelling place of the Lord (Ps),
bring forth life and growth (1).
Jesus is the living sanctuary (3),
and we his living body in the Spirit.
Thought for the Day
THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP
In all of today’s readings, the temple is prominently mentioned.
Ezekiel speaks of streams of living water flowing out from the
temple, watering the desert, bringing life to all living things,
offering fresh healing to God’s people.
Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith rests upon the firmest
of foundations, Christ himself. More than that, Paul reveals that
those who follow Christ are themselves temples, temples of the
Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with them, but in them.
For the Jews of Jesus’ time, the temple had come to be identified
with the presence of God and the only place where authentic
worship of God took place. Jesus had a different perception. Jesus
identified himself not with the temple, but as the temple. In so
doing, Jesus indicated a dramatic shift in what it means to worship
God, to be in God’s presence. No longer was a place to be the
focus of prayer. Instead, a person, the person of Jesus Christ,
becomes the center of our worship.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
For several weeks, we have considered penance as a sacrament of
forgiveness, and yet there are two other sacraments in this
category. The first, of course, is the Eucharist itself. The other is
the sacrament of the sick, long associated with penance.
The Letter of James sets out the deep tradition for
caring for the sick: sending for the priests, who will pray and lay
their hands on the sick ones, anointing them with oil, and giving
them forgiveness. Long before other rites of penance developed,
the sacrament of the sick was therefore a profound experience of
forgiveness. Jesus often healed the sick, nearly always as a visible
sign of forgiveness of sin.
