THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
NOVEMBER 9, 2014
WEEKLY ATTENDANCE: Adults: 577 Children: 152 Total: 729
On this Sunday, which for us Catholics
is like a little Easter, we also remember a building.
Now, that might sound silly. What do you mean, celebrate a building? Yes, because it is the symbol of
something very special.
The Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome was
one of the first churches built by Christians following
those bloody, early persecutions. It was consecrated
in the year 324. That Church continues to be the Cathedral of the Pope to this very day. The basilica is
called Mother of all the Churches in Rome and of the
World. It represents the fact we are following the
Lord Jesus in the structure He gave us and keeps us
together.
Churches are places where members of Christ
congregate to pray. We find Jesus there also. Really,
the world would be considerably different if Christ
had not wanted to remain with us. In front of the tabernacle we can draw strength for our interior struggle, facing the problems of the world and leave all our
worries in His hands.
Just as in our churches, we should often bring
to mind that the most Holy Trinity lives in the souls of
the just in a special way. By means of the grace of
God, Christ lives in each one of us just as in a temple.
Fr. John Steven Kostek
