Saturday – 31st Week of Ordinary Time B – Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome
Today, as we gather to celebrate the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, we are called to reflect on the significance of this occasion not only as a historical event, but also as a spiritual reality that resonates deeply within our Catholic faith. The Lateran Basilica, known as the “Cathedral of Rome,” holds a unique place in the heart of the Church as the official church of the Pope, the Bishop of Rome. This feast reminds us of the visible expression of the Church as the Body of Christ, and invites us to consider our own identity as temples of God.
