Feast · The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
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.
Original – Prayer on Fire.
Verse of the day
The Passover of the Jews was near, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem. And he found, sitting in the temple, sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
