We are Blessed to be part of the One Holy Catholic Church

In the Book of Ezekiel, a place is mysteriously marked for the temple. Every temple has its miraculous history connected with Divine revelation or God’s intervention in human life. The humans desire to have a dwelling for them. On cherishing the benefits of a dwelling for them, humans wish and long to build the best dwelling for God. If God dwells in the temple among us, we could visit and place all our petitions to him.

Temples of God are built at the source of streams, seas, rivers or water bodies, on mountaintops. The best natural locations are set aside for God’s dwelling. In today’s reading, we have the best location marked out for the Temple of the Lord. The temple becomes a source and center for life giving water to flow.  For Jews, the temple in Jerusalem is the centre of their mission and life. As we keep the Feast of Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, we all celebrate the universal Church feast. The Lateran Basilica is the parish of the universal church.

Do you believe that we all belong to one holy Catholic?
