OUR LADY OF HOPE
YÜÉÅ à{x ctáàÉÜË á Wxá~
Dear Friends,
I
t might seem odd to have a feast day for a church, but our readings today show us that
marking God’s presence is a time-honored tradition. When Jacob dreamed of ladders and angels, he took it as a sign of God’s presence and built an altar in the place he’d slept. When
we finally recognize the presence of God, we often take special note of the moment with
some sign. The Basilica of St. John Lateran, the principal cathedral of Rome (also known as
the pope’s cathedral) and the baptismal Church of ancient Rome, is a wonderful example of
such a sign. Our focus today is not on the building itself, but on what it represents - the union of the whole people of God gathered with the pope in witness to the presence of God.
Yours in Christ,
Very Rev. Michael A. Carrano
