It is yet another opportunity for us to remember the Church is about living stones, not just the bricks and mortar that make up a building. It is a moment for us all to remember that Church isn’t just about “us.” We are not a community closed in on itself. To do this is to wither and to die. We are called to go out on mission to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Church becomes the springboard to that community: nourished by the Word of God and the Sacraments, sustained by the community of believers, we are called to build up the community of all God’s people until God is all in all. Hearing that call to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth, Bishop Sullivan has asked that all parishes observe National Vocations Awareness week this week, and to pray especially for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and to the religious life. Bishop Sullivan emphasizes the need for priestly vocations in our own Diocese of Camden. Included with the Sunday Bulletin is a card with a prayer for vocations on it. Please pray that prayer daily, especially this week, mindful of the need for good priests to serve the Gospel here in the Diocese of Camden. If you know someone who is thinking of the Priesthood, ask them to call one of the parish priests or Father Michael Romano, Diocesan Vocation Director, at 856-583-2864.

DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA IN ROME First Reading: Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12 This reading from the Prophet Ezekiel tells of the streaming, healing waters that flow from the temple. These waters restore life to the river’s inhabitants as well as the fruit bearing trees along its banks. It is believed that the water signifies blessings, whereas the lack of signifies trouble, hardship. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17 Paul compares us to a building whose foundation has been laid by Jesus. As the people of God, we can only be solid if we are grounded in Christ. Gospel: John 2:13-22 Near the time of Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem and saw the temple had become a marketplace. He became angry and proceeded to drive out the vendors and livestock. Jesus spoke of destroying the temple and rebuilding it in three days. The Jews did not know Jesus was speaking of his body, but when his resurrection from the dead came to pass, his disciples remembered what Jesus had said and came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.
