About today

The Lateran basilica is the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, “mother and head of all the churches.” Its dedication, kept on 9 November, is a feast of the Church herself: a people built of living stones, not only of marble, bound to the chair of Peter. Every parish altar is kin to that one. Ask today for love of the local church and of the church in Rome, and for a holiness that makes of us a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.
