The Lateran Basilica in Rome
Sunday, 11 November 2014, I remember the Basilica of Lateran in Rome,
Italy. Today, the Catholic Church of Rome celebrated the Feast of the
Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome. In the letters we read today, we
can see how the home of God is very saint. The temple in the ancient and the
temple in Jesus’ era were saints. The temple is the home of God. God lives
there. This was the vision at that time. I think, this vision has not changed.
Now, we have this vision. The temple is the home of God. In Christian or
Catholic, the temple is the Church. The temple, the synagogue, the church, the
mosque, and others are the home of God. We go there to meet God.
I remember, one year a go, I have visited the Basilica of Lateran with
my friend Fonsi and Sergio and Father Eugenio, SX. Long time ago, I have known
this post. I have read in the story books and in the school books. Every year
we celebrate the Feast of the Dedication of this basilica. But, at that time, I
was happy because I see the place. Not in imagining like I have seen before. It
appears the great home, great building. Yes, this is the cathedral of the diocese
of Rome. This basilica also is called the mother of Churches. It is the mother
of all churches. I don’t find the significance of ‘all churches’. I don’t know
how the meaning of all churches. There are many church, the Catholic Churches
and the Protestant Churches. I think, this name was formed before the conflict
in the Church. So, the mother of all churches aims the mother of the Churches
of all Christians, the protestant and the catholic.
Happy Sunday all.
