The Lateran Basilica in Rome is the cathedral church of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. So, by extension, is it the home of every Catholic. Our readings this week remind us of how important it is to properly revere and respect all places of worship because they are where we encounter God here on earth. God’s goodness flows outward from those structures – through the waters of Baptism, through the words and actions of those who live the Gospel, through the good work done in the world by the Church. Each of us must be true to Jesus, our foundation, so that our words and actions reflect the Spirit of God dwelling within us.
