Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica - November 9, 2025
His vision of a restored temple in Jerusalem, the holy city - the city of God - Ezekiel sees the life-giving waters that flow from it, bringing life to land and sea. We sing of these waters in the psalm, linking them to God's dwelling. In the Gospel, Jesus refers to his Body as a temple and in the second reading Paul asserts that we are the temple of God, for the Holy Spirit dwells in each of us. Aware of our holiness and each other's holiness, we listen together to God's word.
