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?
