Reflecting on God’s Word
Lighthouse CD Spotlight
We are not all we would like to be. We know that only too
well. The seven capital sins are not just fantasies. We readily
embody them: anger and pride and greed and lust and gluttony
and envy and laziness. Our spirits bear the mark of Cain.
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
Man of the Beatitudes
It’s also true that we often want others to be what we ourselves
cannot be, and so we look to the Church, except that the
Church is us, and if we are sinful, so too is the Church. Our
history as a community of believers says it all too clearly. We
waged war with the Crusades. We reveled in the power of
ruling over civil states. We became intolerant during the
Inquisition. We were a storehouse of wealth. And most recently
we were too proud to admit the sexual abuses taking place in
our midst.
If we are the dwelling place of God, a temple made of living
stones, then we are also in need of being swept clean just as
Jesus once cleansed the temple in his day. We come to
recognize that need. The good news is that the Church is being
swept clean, in every age, because sin slips through in every
age. And so the Church, that living temple, is constantly being
made new, painful as it may be.
Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy into a family of wealth and status,
Pier Giorgio enjoyed good friends, hiking and skiing, museums
and music, and was involved in political action. He found that
deep prayer, service to the poor, and a passion for bringing
others to Christ led to a life of purpose, peace, and happiness.
Pier Giorgio died at the age of 24 on July 4, 1925. He was
beatified on May 20, 1990 by Pope John Paul II who referred to
him as a "man of the beatitudes."
CD’s are available
in the Gathering
Space for $3.00
each.
It would be wonderful if the Church were all that the gospel
professes. The fact that it is not may be disappointing, but
God’s reign has not yet arrived—at least not fully. In the
meantime, the Lord Jesus continues to cleanse us and renew us.
And the marvel is that the river that flows from that temple of
living stones is still bringing life to all it touches—in spite of
our sinfulness.
—Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis

THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP
Lect. 671: Ezekiel 47:1–2, 8–9, 12 / Psalm 46:2–3, 5–6, 8–9 / 1
Corinthians 3:9c–11, 16–17 / John 2:13–22
In all of today’s readings, the temple is prominently
mentioned. Ezekiel speaks of streams of living water flowing
out from the temple, watering the desert, bringing life to all
living things, offering fresh healing to God’s people.
Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith rests upon the
firmest of foundations, Christ himself. More than that, Paul
reveals that those who follow Christ are themselves temples,
temples of the Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with
them, but in them.
For the Jews of Jesus’ time, the temple had come to be
identified with the presence of God and the only place where
authentic worship of God took place. Jesus had a different
perception. Jesus identified himself not with the temple, but as
the temple. In so doing, Jesus indicated a dramatic shift in what
it means to worship God, to be in God’s presence. No longer
was a place to be the focus of prayer. Instead, a person, the
person of Jesus Christ, becomes the center of our worship.
Living God’s Word
Living with self-inflicted limitations is no easy task, personally
or ecclesially. On the other hand, the presence of the Lord
Jesus Christ renews the Church and helps us to build his
kingdom as best we can.

SOMOS TEMPLOS DE DIOS
1.- ¿No sabéis que sois templo de Dios y que el Espíritu de
Dios habita en vosotros? El templo de Dios es santo, ese templo
sois vosotros. San Pablo conocía por propia experiencia las
limitaciones y tendencias pecaminosas de su cuerpo, hasta el
punto de que en alguna ocasión llegó a exclamar: ¡cuándo me
libraré de este cuerpo mortal! Pero también conocía por propia
experiencia que el espíritu que habitaba en él, el espíritu de
Cristo, era santo, hasta tal punto que también en otra ocasión
exclamó: no soy yo quien vive en mí, ¡es Cristo quien vive en mí!
Pues también nosotros, cada uno de los cristianos, debemos ser
conscientes de esta doble realidad: tenemos un cuerpo mortal,
con tendencias carnales y muchas veces pecaminosas, pero
también hemos sido revestidos del espíritu de Cristo y este
espíritu es santo. Procuremos vivir dirigidos y gobernados por el
espíritu, no por el cuerpo. “Las obras de la carne son conocidas:
fornicación, impureza… odios, discordias, celos… divisiones,
rencillas… y otras cosas semejantes; en cambio, el fruto del
espíritu es amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, afabilidad, bondad,
fidelidad, mansedumbre, dominio de sí… Si vivimos según el
Espíritu, obremos también según el Espíritu” (Gal 5, 19, 25). Si
vivimos conscientes de que somos templos de Dios, nos
esforzaremos constantemente en vivir según el Espíritu de Cristo.
2.- Pero él hablaba del templo de su cuerpo. Ya sabemos que
Juan ha clocado este relato de la purificación del templo al
comienzo de su evangelio, en contra de los sinópticos que lo
colocan al final. Y es que en los tiempos en los que Juan escribe
su evangelio el templo de Jerusalén ya había sido destruido y a
Juan le interesa dejar ya claro, desde el comienzo de su
evangelio, que ya no es el templo material, como ocurría en el
Antiguo Testamento, el centro de la fe de los creyentes. Tenemos
un Nuevo Testamento y, para los cristianos, el verdadero templo
de Dios es Cristo. El verdadero templo donde Dios habita ahora
es en Cristo, no en templos materiales. A Dios debemos adorarlo
en espíritu y en verdad, es decir, en el espíritu de Cristo. Los
cristianos que viven en el espíritu de Cristo son también ellos
mismos templos de Dios y Dios habita en ellos. Es lo que, siglos
más tarde, se llamaría la inhabitación de la Santísima Trinidad en
el alma cristiana que vive en comunión con Cristo.
3.- Dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán. Hoy, domingo,
celebramos nuestras eucaristías con la liturgia propia de la fiesta
de la dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán. Esta basílica fue la
primera basílica cristiana (año 324) y es, actualmente, la catedral
del Obispo de Roma, del Papa, y por eso en su frontis tiene esta
inscripción: “Madre y Cabeza de todas las iglesias de la ciudad y
del mundo”. La Iglesia Católica es una Iglesia universal y quiere
que todas las iglesias particulares estén unidas en comunión con
la iglesia de Roma y con su Obispo, con el Papa; Por eso, la
liturgia de esta fiesta de la Dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán,
cuya consagración celebramos en este día, es tan importante que
prevalece sobre la liturgia del domingo correspondiente.
Procuremos todos los cristianos vivir siempre en comunión con el
Papa y pidamos fervorosamente, hoy especialmente, por la
unidad de todas las iglesias cristianas.
4.- Virgen de la Almudena. En Madrid hoy celebramos la fiesta
de la Virgen de la Almudena, nuestra Patrona. Se llama así
porque la imagen de Santa María de la Almudena fue encontrada
el año 1085, durante la conquista de la ciudad de Madrid, en uno
de los torreones adosados a la muralla árabe, donde unos tres
siglos antes había sido ocultada para ocultarla de los árabes. Es,
pues, la Virgen de la muralla; hagamos nosotros de María una
auténtica muralla que proteja nuestra fe y nos libre de tantos
peligros como en estos tiempos nos acechan y pretenden
derribarnos.
