DeVivo by Oscar Sanchez & Annette Richards PLEASE REMEMBER ST. MATTHEW CATHOLIC CHURCH/ARCHDIOCESE OF MIAMI IN YOUR WILL. The Basilica of St. John Lateran, Mother of All Churches We celebrate today the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome because it is the head and mother church of all churches in the world. On the façade of the basilica there is an inscription in Latin which reads, “the mother and mistress of all churches in Rome and the world.” One might think St. Peter’s Basilica is the head of all the churches but in fact it is the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Every bishop has a cathedral and the Pope’s cathedral is the Basilica of St. John Lateran not the Basilica of St. Peter. As we celebrate the dedication today let us pray also for those who have gotten lost going through life that they may find the Church as a true mother and that Jesus may become the foundation stone and the corner stone of their lives. - Copyright @ Fr. Tommy Lane 2013 Page Three STEWARDSHIP: “Sharing God’s Gifts” As Catholics, we give in gratitude for what God has given to us; this is what motivates us. We give because of faithfulness.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS For several weeks, we have considered penance as a sacrament of forgiveness, and yet there are two other sacraments in this category. The first, of course, is the Eucharist itself. The other is the sacrament of the sick, long associated with penance. The Letter of James sets out the deep tradition for caring for the sick: sending for the priests, who will pray and lay their hands on the sick ones, anointing them with oil, and giving them forgiveness. Long before other rites of penance developed, the sacrament of the sick was therefore a profound experience of forgiveness of sin. The tradition didn’t unfold smoothly, however, and within a few centuries the oil of the sick was taken home to be applied by caregivers as a salve, or even to be drunk as a medicine. As early as the second century, bishops were therefore urging that priests should be the ones to visit those separated by illness from the Sunday assembly. Thus the practice of consigning the Eucharist and the oil of the sick to the nonordained faithful to bring home was relatively short-lived.
