Fr. Elias on the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of?St. John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome, the Mother Church of the Catholic Church. He explains the great significance of this ancient building as a visible sign of God' presence on earth, relating it to the symbolism contained in the readings for today, to our spiritual life, to our role as evangelizers and to Our Lady. We are to become spiritual basilicas for the world to see.
