Your house is a house of prayer, and your
presence makes it a place of blessing.
You give us grace upon grace to build the
temple of your Spirit, creating its
beauty from the holiness of our lives.
Your house of prayer is also the promise
of the Church in heaven.
Here your love is always at work,
preparing the Church on earth
for its heavenly glory. . .
The Church of the Holy Spirit
Palmyra, PA
Zeal for Your House will consume me.
Disciples are eager to serve the community of faith.
Discipleship: Following The Way Of The Lord Jesus
From Father Jim: The zeal Jesus shows for the Temple, tells us nothing on earth
is more valuable to God than God’s Church. Before his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus prayed
ANNULMENTS
passionately forMARRIAGE
his Church. And,
on the cross, he paid the highest price for the Church.
Today we celebrate the dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the first purpose-built
Christian Church. Beginning in A.D. 313, when Christian communities were free to construct
public buildings, St. John on the Lateran Hill became the pope's cathedral as Bishop of Rome
(St Peter’s in the Vatican is not a cathedral), and thus the "mother church" of the Christian world.
Today's solemnity celebrates of the unity of all our churches: from the Pope's Cathedral in
Rome, to our own Holy Spirit in Palmyra.
If you are part of God’s family, you should have that same zeal for the Church that Jesus
had. You are commissioned by God to pray for your Church and its unity. It is your responsibility to protect that unity and to promote harmony in your Church family and among all believers.
What are you doing personally to make our Church more inviting & welcoming, more active
in love & service, more holy & Christ-like?
