Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
First reading – Ezekiel 47:1-2,8-9,12
“Wherever the river flows, all living creatures teeming in it will live.” Today is the feast of the dedication of the Lateran Basilica. This is about the feast of Church where the grace flows. Church is where the sacrifice of Christ is continued. Where the grace of the Cross is being continued in the sacraments. This grace from the Cross is that gives the divine life to everyone. And along the bank of this river of grace, every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither will grow. The grace from the Cross gives life for all kinds of fruits. And this grace is for always. “…fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal.” Not only that there will be always fruits, but the fruits are also good and leaves are medicinal. Be on the riverside of the grace and we are supplied with abundant grace. Let’s reflect: Am I in the flow of grace to be always fruitful?
