The Feast of the dedication of a church, is the day which we Catholic's annually commemorate our solemn consecration all to God. 🤗️
Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy feast of, The Basilica of Our Savior Jesus. This Church, the Mother and Mistress of all the Churches of Rome and of the world, is called "Saint John Lateran." Erected by Constantine and consecrated by Pope Saint Sylvester in the year 324, it was rebuilt and consecrated by Pope Benedict XIII in the year 1726. Today's Mass lesson for Catholics is: Lesson from Holy Gospel: Luke 19, 1-10. At that time, Jesus entering in, walked through Jericho. And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus Who He was, and he could not see because of the crowd, because he was low of stature. And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree that he might see Him, for Jesus was to pass that way. And when Jesus was coming to the place, looking up, He saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for this day I must abide in thy house." And he made haste and came down, and received Him with Great joy. And when all who saw this, they murmured, saying that "He was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner." But Zacchaeus standing said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have wronged any man of anything, I restore him fourfold. Jesus said to him, "Today salvation is come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Maybe it be a good idea to follow the promise's of Jesus? 🤗️
This gospel is read on the feast of the dedication of the church, because through this dedication, Christ comes among his Faithful congregation, as He once did among the household of Zacheus, and He also dispenses His grace and salvation, as He once did to that penitent publican. 🤔️
CATHOLIC LESSONS ON THE SPIRITUAL TEMPLE, WHICH IS MAN HIMSELF.
"You are the temple of the living God; as God saith, I will dwell in them.”
Saint Bernard in his first sermon on the dedication of a Church says that the feast of dedication is our feast also. For we too are living temples of God and as such were, in holy Baptism, no less solemnly dedicated than are these temples of wood and stone. Every traditional Catholic is a pure and holy temple, for as a church is first freed from the malice of the devil by manifold prayers, by exorcisms, by sprinklings with holy water, by repeated signs of the cross, by incense, so we, in holy Baptism, by many prayers, by exorcisms, and renunciations of Satan, by frequent signs of the cross, by the breathing's of the priest, and finally by the sanctified water, thrice poured, with invocation of the all Holy Trinity, are purified from all diabolical malice and sin, and dedicated as temples of God. But if we are such does there not, therefore, rest upon us a sacred obligation, as Saint Augustine says, to maintain that purity which we have received in holy Baptism? and to suffer nothing within the temple of our hearts which can offend the eyes of so pure a God? For woe to those who defile and desecrate the Holy temple of God! God Himself, as Saint Paul says, shall destroy them (1. Cor. iii. 17). But the temple of the heart is defiled by every mortal sin, particularly by impurity. Flee, therefore, from sin! But if you have indeed driven God from your heart by mortal sin, and given place to the devil, banish him again by a true repentance, and dedicate anew the temple of your heart with the blood of the Lamb, through the holy sacraments, as the church that has been desecrated is reconsecrated and reconciled. 🤨️
