"Destroy this temple, and in three days
I will raise it up"
What can keep us from the presence of God? Jesus’ drama c
cleansing of the temple was seen by his disciples as a prophe c sign of God’s ac on. The temple was understood as
the dwelling place of God among his people. When God
delivered his people from slavery in Egypt, he brought them
through the sea, and finally to Mount Sinai where he made a
covenant with them and gave them a new way of life
embodied in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17). God
gave Moses instruc on for worship and for making the
Tabernacle, or tent of mee ng, which was later replaced by
the temple. The New Testament tells us that these “serve as
a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary” – God’s
Temple in heaven (Hebrews 8:5). Jesus’ cleansing of the temple is also a prophe c sign of what he wants to do with each
of us. He ever seeks to cleanse us of sin and make us living
temples of his Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Do you want
to be holy as God is holy?
Jesus referred to the temple as his Father’s house which was
being made into “house of trade” (John 2:16) or “den of robbers” (Mark 11:17). That is why he used physical force to
expel the money-chargers. The prophecy of Malachi foretold
the coming of the Lord unexpectedly to his Temple to “purify
the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, ll they
present right offerings to the Lord” (Malachi 3:1-4). Jesus'
disciples recalled the words of Psalm 69: “Zeal for your
house will consume me.” This was understood as a Messianic
prophecy. Here the disciples saw more clearly Jesus as the
Messiah who burned with zeal for God's house. The Jewish
authori es, however, wanted proof that Jesus had divine
authority to act as he did. They demanded a sign from God
to prove Jesus right, otherwise, they would treat him as an
imposter and a usurper of their authority. Jesus replied that
the sign God would give would be Jesus' death on the cross
and resurrec on from the tomb: "Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up." The Jews did not understand
that the temple Jesus referred to was his own body. The
“tent of his body” had to be destroyed to open the way to
the presence of God for us. Through his death and resurrecon, Jesus not only reconciles us with God, but he fills us
with his Holy Spirit and makes us temples of the living God (1
Corinthians 6:19-20). God's word enlightens our minds and
purifies our hearts that we may offer God fi ng worship and
enjoy his presence both now and forever. Do you burn with
zeal for the Lord’s house?
"Lord Jesus Christ, you open wide the door of your Father’s
house and you bid us to enter confidently that we may worship in spirit and truth. Help me to draw near to your throne
of mercy with gra tude and joy."

Dedica on of the Basilica of St John Lateran (Feast)
Most people probably think that St Peter’s is the pope’s main
church in Rome. But actually it is the Church of St John Lateran which
is the cathedral and hence the Pope’s church as Bishop of the Diocese
of Rome. On the façade of the basilica there is an inscrip on in La n
which reads, “the mother and mistress of all churches of Rome and
the world”. We tend to forget that the Pope is primarily a Bishop, a
first among equals, and that this church has a special and symbolic
importance for the whole Church.
The first church building on this site was built in the 4th century
when the Emperor Constan ne gave land he had received from the
wealthy Lateran family. That church and others which replaced it
suffered over the centuries from fire, earthquakes and war but it remained the church where popes were consecrated un l they returned
from exile in Avignon, in the south of France. When the Avignon papacy formally ended and the Pope could return to Rome, the Lateran
Palace and the basilica were in a serious state of disrepair. The popes
took up residency at the Basilica of St Mary in Trastevere and later at
the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. Eventually, the Palace of the Va can
was constructed and has been the pope’s residence un l now.
The present Lateran basilica was erected in 1646. It ranks first
among the four major basilicas in Rome (with St Peter’s, St Mary Major’s and St Paul’s Outside the Walls) as the Ecumenical Mother
Church. On top of its facade are 15 large statues represen ng Christ,
John the Bap st, John the Evangelist and 12 Doctors of the Church.
Underneath its high altar are the remains of a small wooden table on
which tradi on claims St Peter celebrated the Eucharist.
St. John Bap st and St. John the Evangelist are regarded as copatrons of the cathedral, the chief patron being Christ the Saviour
himself, as the inscrip on at the entrance of the Basilica indicates,
and as is the tradi on in the patriarchal cathedrals. The Basilica remains dedicated to the Saviour, and its tular feast is the Transfiguraon. Its full tle then is Archbasilica of the Most Holy Saviour and of
Sts. John Bap st and John Evangelist in the Lateran.
Celebra ng the dedica on of the Pope’s cathedral today is a way of
expressing the unity of the whole Church with the Pope, the Bishop of
Rome. And the union of each local church with this church is an
expression of the unity of all churches both with Rome and with
each other. (Site: www.sacredspace.ie)

and teachings set forth by Jesus Christ. We are committed:
