St. Augustine, St. Benedict the Moor & St. Mary Churches: Pastoral Region One
THE TEMPLE OF STONES IS A SYMBOL OF
THE LIVING CHURCH
Today the liturgy celebrates the dedication of the
Lateran Basilica, called “mother and head of all the
churches of the city and the world.” In fact, this basilica
was the first to be built after Emperor Constantine’s edict,
in 313, granted Christians freedom to practice their religion.
The emperor himself gave Pope Miltiades the
ancient palace of the Laterani family, and the basilica, the
baptistery, and the patriarchate, that is, the Bishop of
Rome’s residence — where the Popes lived until the
Avignon period — were all built there. The basilica’s
dedication was celebrated by Pope Sylvester around 324
and was named Most Holy Savior; only after the 6th
century was the names of St. John the Baptist and St. John
the Evangelist added, and now is typically denominated by
these latter.
Initially the observance of this feast was confined
to the city of Rome; then, beginning in 1565, it was
extended to all the Churches of the Roman rite. The
honoring of this sacred edifice was a way of expressing
love and veneration for the Roman Church, which, as St.
Ignatius of Antioch says, “presides in charity” over the
whole Catholic communion (Letter to the Romans, 1:1).
On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an
essential truth: the temple of stones is a symbol of the living
Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the
Apostles Peter and Paul already understood as a “spiritual
edifice,” built by God with “living stones,” namely,
Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus
Christ, who is called the “cornerstone” (cf. 1 Corinthians
3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Ephesians 2:20-22). “Brothers,
you are God’s building,” St. Paul wrote, and added: “holy is
God’s temple, which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17).
The beauty and harmony of the churches, destined
to give praise to God, also draws us human beings, limited
and sinful, to convert to form a “cosmos,” a well-ordered
structure, in intimate communion with Jesus, who is the
true Saint of saints. This happens in a culminating way in
the Eucharistic liturgy, in which the “ecclesia,” that is, the
community of the baptized, come together in a unified way
to listen to the Word of God and nourish themselves with
the Body and Blood of Christ. From these two tables the
Church of living stones is built up in truth and charity and
is internally formed by the Holy Spirit transforming herself
into what she receives, conforming herself more and more
to the Lord Jesus Christ. She herself, if she lives in sincere
and fraternal unity, in this way becomes the spiritual
sacrifice pleasing to God.
Dear friends, today’s feast celebrates a mystery that
is always relevant: God’s desire to build a spiritual temple

in the world, a community that worships him in spirit and
truth (cf. John 4:23-24). But this observance also reminds
us of the importance of the material buildings in which the
community gathers to celebrate the praises of God. Every
community therefore has the duty to take special care of its
own sacred buildings, which are a precious religious and
historical patrimony. For this we call upon the intercession
of Mary Most Holy, that she help us to become, like her,
the “house of God,” living temple of his love.

Parishioners feel the purpose of our coming together has
run its course.
EVER CONSIDER MISSIONARY WORK?
Our Holy Father Pope Francis invites us all to be
joy-filled missionary disciples locally and globally, sharing
and learning of God’s love. Some of us may feel a tug from
God to serve beyond our homes, somewhere else in the
United States or overseas. We might be called for a short or
long term assignment in one of hundreds of different kinds
of work and ministry. There are over 70 Catholic mission
organizations looking for volunteers 55 and up, who may
be seeking something meaningful in part-time or full-time
retirement. Another 130 mission groups are looking for
married couples with or without children, youth, or church
groups. For a WIDE November 2014 Clergy
Communications 11 range of possibilities, go to:

Gable for advice at: [email protected].
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
REMEMBER THEM IN PRAYER
The month of November is dedicated to
remembering the saints and our deceased family members
and friends. As you and your family seek to live out your
own vocations to holiness, the diocesan Family and Respect
Life Office encourages you to look for inspiration and
strength in reflecting with gratitude on the lives of those
powerful men and women of faith who lived Gospel lives.
We give thanks to you, O Lord our God, for all your
servants and witnesses of times past:
• For Abraham, the father of believers, and Sarah, his wife,
• For Moses, the lawgiver, and Aaron, the priest,
• For Miriam and Joshua, Deborah and Gideon, and Samuel
and Hannah, his mother,
• For Isaiah and all the prophets,
• For Mary, the mother of our Lord,
• For Peter and Paul and all the apostles,
• For Mary and Martha, and Mary Magdalene,
• For Stephen, the first martyr, and all the martyrs and
saints in every age and in every land,
• For the holy men and women in our family who have been
examples of faith for us.
In your mercy, O Lord, our God, give us, as You
gave to them, the hope of salvation and the promise of
eternal life. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
VETERANS DAY
On November 11 as we commemorate
Veterans Day by recalling the sacrifices of our service
men and women, we are mindful of those currently
serving our country, both here and overseas. Praying
for their safe return to their friends and loved ones, we
lift them up: Almighty God, we commend to your
gracious care and keeping all the men and women of
our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them
day by day with Your heavenly grace; strengthen them
in their trials and temptations; give them courage to
face the perils which beset them; and grant them a
sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
ST. MARY STATIONS OF THE CROSS
St. Mary parishioner Marilyn Wolff is almost
finished with the Stations of the Cross on the east side
of the church.
Please take a moment to get a closer look at her
progress and all her hard work and dedication.
MOMENT OF JUSTICE
When a parish achieves a grace-filled moment
of justice, we all ask how they did it. On Wednesday,
Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. at St. Francis Church, 6245
Wilmington Pike, Dayton, Ohio, you can see how a
parish brought healing in a difficult situation. We will
watch a video together about the struggle and triumph
of one parish and consider how our faith gently calls
us to a similar response to issues in our communities.
Mary Hallinan of Queen of Apostles will guide us to a
new understanding of a justice that heals us.
CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Next week's collection for the Catholic
Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) needs
your help. CCHD was founded to end the cycle of
poverty in the United States by funding organizations
that help people help themselves. With the tradition of
improving education, housing situations, and
economic development, CCHD continues to make a
positive impact on communities nationwide. Your
contributions will defend human dignity and help
those living on the margins of our society. Please be
as generous as possible to next week's CCHD
collection. Thank you in advance for your support.
