THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP
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.

O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry, when I have work, help me to remember the jobless,
when I have a home help me to remember those who have no home at all, when I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer, and remembering, help me to destroy my complacency; bestir my
compassion, and be concerned enough to help by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen

La Dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán
9 de noviembre de 2014
El Dios de los ejércitos nos cuida,
y es el Dios de Jacob nuestra defensa.
— Salmo 46 (45):8
EVANGELIZACIÓN
Iré adonde sea y haré cualquier cosa para
comunicar el amor de Jesús a quienes no lo conocen o lo han olvidado.
—Santa Francisca
Xavier Cabrini
LA FUNDACIÓN
La sabiduría es la fundación y la justicia el trabajo
sin la cual la fundación no puede ser duradera.
—San Ambrosio
EL TEMPLO Y LA ADORACIÓN
En todas las lecturas de hoy, el Templo es mencionado
predominantemente. Ezequiel habla de aguas vivas que
fluyen del Templo, regando el desierto, trayendo vida a
todas las cosas vivientes, brindando salud y frescor al pueblo de Dios.
Pablo recuerda a los corintios que su fe reposa sobre
bases firmes, Cristo mismo. Más que eso, Pablo les revela
que quienes siguen a Cristo son templos ellos mismos, templos del Espíritu Santo, es decir, que Dios no solamente
habita con ellos, sino dentro de ellos.
Para los judíos de los tiempos de Jesús, el Templo era
identificado con la presencia de Dios y como el lugar santo
en donde la verdadera adoración a Dios tenía lugar. Jesús
tenía una percepción diferente. Jesús se identifica a sí mismo no con el Templo, sino como el templo. Al hacerlo,
Jesús mostró un cambio dramático en lo que significa adorar a Dios, estar en la presencia de Dios. Ya no sería un sitio el centro de
oración. Ahora una persona, la persona de Jesucristo, viene a ser el centro de
nuestra adoración.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hoy celebramos la memoria de la Iglesia madre
de la cristiandad. Por extraña coincidencia, no está en
Jerusalén donde nació la Iglesia, tampoco es la Basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, donde está el sepulcro (o la tumba) de san Pedro. Esta iglesia es la Basílica que está dedicada a la memoria del Divino Salvador, a san Juan Bautista y a san Juan Evangelista.
Fue la primera basílica consagrada en el año 324 al
culto cristiano en Roma.
De allí ha tenido una larga trayectoria, y aunque
es la catedral del obispo de Roma, el Papa se trasladó
al Vaticano en 1377, luego de que el papado estuvo
durante un período de 100 años en Francia.
Al recordar la consagración de la Basílica de Letrán no debemos olvidar lo que dice san Pablo: “Cada
uno de nosotros somos un templo del Espíritu Santo” (1 Corintios 6:19). En un sueño, Inocencio III vio
que Letrán estaba por caerse, pero san Francisco pudo sostenerla en pie. Ojalá que cada vez que nosotros
estemos por caer, llegue alguien que nos pueda sostener como templos de Dios.
