THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP
In all of today’s readings, the temple is prominently mentioned. Ezekiel speaks of
streams of living water flowing out from the temple, watering the desert, bringing
life to all living things, offering fresh healing to God’s people.
Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith rests upon the firmest of foundations,
Christ himself. More than that, Paul reveals that those who follow Christ are themselves temples, temples of
the Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with them, but in them.
For the Jews of Jesus’ time, the temple had come to be identified with the presence of God and the only
place where authentic worship of God took place. Jesus had a different perception. Jesus identified himself
not with the temple, but as the temple. In so doing, Jesus indicated a dramatic shift in what it means to
worship God, to be in God’s presence. No longer was a place to be the focus of prayer. Instead, a person,
the person of Jesus Christ, becomes the center of our worship.
TODAY’s READINGS
First Reading — I saw water flowing out of the temple; wherever the river flows, every living creature shall
live (Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12).
Psalm — The waters of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High (Psalm 46).
Second Reading — Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in
you? (1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17).
Gospel — Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up (John 2:13-22).
SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Baptisms (English) are held on the second and fourth
Sunday of each month at 2:30pm. For information on the
requirements; the preparation class for the parents/god
parents, and to obtain a Registration Form please contact

Lent.

from 4:00-5:00 PM or by appointment.

DEDICACION DE LA BASILICA DE SAN JUAN DE LETRAN
EL TEMPLO Y LA ADORACIÓN
En todas las lecturas de hoy, el Templo es mencionado
predominantemente. Ezequiel habla de aguas vivas que fluyen del
Templo, regando el desierto, trayendo vida a todas las cosas
vivientes, brindando salud y frescor al pueblo de Dios.
Pablo recuerda a los corintios que su fe reposa sobre bases
firmes, Cristo mismo. Más que eso, Pablo les revela que quienes
siguen a Cristo son templos ellos mismos, templos del Espíritu
Santo, es decir, que Dios no solamente habita con ellos, sino
dentro de ellos.
Para los judíos de los tiempos de Jesús, el Templo era identificado
con la presencia de Dios y como el lugar santo en donde la
verdadera adoración a Dios tenía lugar. Jesús tenía una
percepción diferente. Jesús se identifica a sí mismo no con el
Templo, sino como el templo. Al hacerlo, Jesús mostró un cambio
dramático en lo que significa adorar a
Dios, estar en la presencia de Dios. Ya
no sería un sitio el centro de oración.
Ahora una persona, la persona de
Jesucristo, viene a ser el centro de
nuestra adoración.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Siempre que las
aguas frescas del templo fluyen, todo florece (Ezequiel 47:1-2, 89, 12).
Salmo — Un río alegra la ciudad de Dios (Salmo 46 [45]).
Segunda lectura — Tú eres el templo de Dios y el Espíritu de
Dios vive en ti (1 Corintios 3:9c-11, 16-17).
Evangelio — “Destruyan este templo y yo lo reedificaré en tres
días”, Jesús dijo hablando del templo de su cuerpo (Juan 2:13-22).
Segunda Colecta del próximo domingo— noviembre 16
La Colecta de la próxima semana para la Campaña Catolica para
el Desarrollo Humano (CCHD) necesita su ayuda. CCHD fue
fundada para erradicar el ciclo de pobreza en los Estados Unidos
otorgando fondos a aquellas organizaciones que ayudan a
personas a ayudarse a si mismas.
Su contribución defenderá la dignidad humana y ayudara a
aquellos que viven al margen de nuestra sociedad.
Por favor contribuya a la colecta de CCHD.
