Why celebrate our Mother Church’s Feast Day ?![]()
The Lateran Basilica in Rome is the Mother Church of the whole world. We celebrate its Feast Day every 9th of November each year. It reminds us that churches, chapels, basilicas , oratories and cathedrals through out the world are Houses of God and where He dwells in a special way for us to worship him.
The Lateran Basilica is down the hill from the St Peter’s Basilica on Vatican Hill where Pope Leo lives. But the Lateran Basilica is really Pope Leo’s Church, not St Peter’s Basilica . It is the Cathedral of Rome and the main Cathedral of the world because it is Pope Leo’s Cathedral as Bishop of Rome and as Pope of the Catholic Universal Church.
Of course : The most important temple is the temple of our soul because God dwells within each one of us. In the most secret centre of our being is that sacred sanctuary where we meet God.
But churches whether they be Cathedrals, Basilicas, Chapels or Oratories are sacred places where God dwells and where we must be reverent and respectful.
As we honour the mother church of the whole world, we ponder the importance of church buildings everywhere.
The temple ceases to be a place of encounter with the Father when we treat it like a bus stop, a train station or shopping mall. That is why Jesus got a little agitated when he removed people from the temple in Jerusalem who were doing business .
It is impossible to understand anything about God's love, tenderness, and welcome to humanity when we don’t treat with reverence and respect his house (our church) and the temple of the Holy Spirit within us.
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
(1 Cor 3: 16-17)![]()
Our “rebuild project” is indeed a sacred task as too how each of us behaves in our church of St Annes and how we look after it.
“Maybe today is the day to think about these things”
