Dear Friends in Christ,

DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA IN ROME
SUNDAY – NOVEMBER 9, 2014
Dear Friends in Christ,
Today the Church celebrates the Feast the “Dedication of
the Lateran Basilica in Rome.” The Lateran Basilica is the
Church of the Pope where he presides as the Bishop of
Rome and of the whole world. This is like Saint Patrick’s
Cathedral in our Diocese which is the Church of Bishop
Jugis where he presides as the Bishop of our Diocese.
This Feast reminds us of the authority of the Bishop of
Rome over the whole Church as the Pope - the Vicar of
Christ - who is the successor of Saint Peter, the first Pope. I
had the privilege of visiting this Basilica twice seeing its
“solemn” beauty, the “Chair of Saint Peter”, which signifies
the authority of the Pope.
This Feast also reminds us that our body is God’s temple
where the Spirit of God dwells. Saint Paul says in the
second reading in his first letter to the Corinthians: “If
anyone DESTROYS God’s temple, God will DESTROY that
person; for the temple of God, which you are, is HOLY” (1
Cor 3:17). God is the one who has the power to give life
and the authority to take life away.
Our body should be respected from the moment of
conception to the moment even after death. Regarding
respect to our body after death, those who are cremated
should be buried at the cemetery or interned into the
columbarium which is located at Woodlawn Cemetery and
not scattered over the mountains, seas, grounds or sky.
Our body, even in the form of ashes, must be respected.
We should take care of the body that God has entrusted to
each of us. Whatever we do that may harm our body
should be considered and stopped such as over-exercise,
over-eating, over-drinking, using drug, suicide, torture,
killing and so forth.

Unfortunately, we now live in a world that promotes: Do
whatever you want with your body! Or life is short, play
harder. Many of our young people and even many adults
are influenced and live with these promotions. That is not
only dangerous for their bodies but also for their souls, and
it may lead them to commit others sins or be involved in
crimes. Then, chaos comes into place. And guess what
happens next? We complain to God!
Today let us also pray for the UNITY of the Mystical Body
of Christ and particularly the unity in loving our beautiful
Church in Franklin: Saint Francis of Assisi Church. We
should care for and respect this Sacred Building. It has been
consecrated for Sacred Liturgy where we gather as a family
under the patronage of Saint Francis of
Assisi
to
celebrate
the
Holy
Eucharist/the Holy Mass. The miracle of
miracles happens here, our faith will be
nurtured, our hope will be assured, and
our charity will increase.
May God unite us by the bond of His love and continue to
grant us His forgiveness, and gather us into the Heavenly
Jerusalem Temple praising Him forever. Amen.
May all the Holy Souls in Purgatory receive the fullness of
God's love in heaven through God's mercy. Amen.
Peace in Christ,
Fr. Tien
